Seeking a Settled Heart: The 16th Century Diary of Puritan Richard Rogers, p. 114: Quote:
May 26, 1590...My mind hath very heavenly been exercised in considering both by meditation, by sing Psalm. 119:14, 15, 16, and by, conference, of God's goodness in cheering our hearts with the bottomless and unexpressable treasure of His word, and feeling of His favor, and enjoying of His benefits.
He will condescend to such as we are. He will have us not to taste barely, but plentifully to digest, many comfortable pleasures, and that daily.
And he maketh godliness the pleasantest delight to His people, which to the world is most irksome and bitter.
