Hugh Binning, Works, p. 453:
Heaven only is one day, one spring perpetually blossoming and bringing forth fruit. There is the tree of life that bringeth forth fruit every month, that hath both spring and harvest all the year over. Christians, sit not down under the green tree of worldly prosperity: if you do, the leaves will come down about you; the gourd you trust in may be eaten up in a night; your winter will come on so as you shall forget the former days as if they had never been. We desire you to be armed for changes: are not matters in the kingdom still going about? All things are subject to revolution and change, and every year hath its own summer and winter; so hath it pleased the Lord to set the one over against the other, that man might find nothing after him, Eccl. 7:14.
