If your Lord call you to suffering, be not dismayed; there shall be a new allowance of the King for you when ye come to it. One of the softest pillows Christ hath is laid under his witnesses' head, though often they must set down their bare feet among thorns.

Wants are my best riches, for I have these supplied by Christ.

I hope to over-hope and over-believe my troubles.
