It was a great mercy that Hannah had after her many prayers and long waiting, a son; but a greater that she had a heart to give up her son again to God, who gave him to her. To have estate, health, or any other enjoyment upon waiting on God for the same is mercy, but not to be compared with that blessing which sanctifies the heart to use them for God's glory.

There is a threefold mercy in God: preventing mercy, which steps between us and trouble; delivering mercy, which takes us out of the hand of trouble; and sparing mercy, which though it do not prevent nor deliver, yet it mitigates, allays, and graciously moderates our troubles. And though sparing mercy be desirable and sweet, yet it is the least and lowest sort of mercy that God exercises toward any.

Compare thy mercies and afflictions together. Have not mercies flowed in upon thee like a flood, whereas afflictions have fallen upon thee but like drops? For one affliction, thou hast had an hundred mercies.

This is certainly greater than any affliction, that you have the day of grace and salvation, that you are not now in hell. This is a greater mercy, that you have the sound of the gospel yet in your ears, that you have the use of your reason. This is a greater mercy than your afflictions, that you have the use of your limbs, your senses; that you have the health of your bodies. Health of body is a greater mercy than poverty is an affliction; there is no man that is rich but if he be wise, if he hath a sickly body, he would part with all his riches that he might have his health. Therefore thy mercies are more than thy afflictions.
