When a man dives under water, he feels not the weight of it, though there be many tons of water over his head; whereas half a tub of it taken out of its place and set upon his head would be burdensome. So, whilst a man is over head and ears in sin, he is not sensible of nor troubled with the weight of it. But when he begins to come out of that state of sin, then sin begins to hang heavy, and he feels the great weight of it.
Saint\'s NosegaySin1Saint\'s Nosegay
He that is free from a wife may frame his choice to his mind, but he that hath chosen must frame his mind to his choice. Before, he might conform his actions to his affections; now he must endeavor to frame his affection according to his action.
Marriage0A man may leave that estate to his children which he hath gotten by wisdom, but he cannot leave them wisdom to guide that estate when they have it.
Inheritance, Wisdom, Children0Where God multiplies His mercies and men multiply their sins, there God will multiply their miseries.
God's Mercy0God shows more mercy in saving some when He might have condemned all; than justice in judging many when He might have saved none.
God's Mercy0Great blessings that are won with prayer are worn with thankfulness.
Prayer, Blessings0Wicked men in affliction are like iron, which while in the first it melts, but after it hath been a while out, it grows stiff again.
