Truly I think you are at no disadvantage to be in a retired condition as at this day; neither be troubled for want of work; for if you be spared to see the good that He shall do for his people, you shall have work enough. He, it may be, is preparing you for it; for you know in your experience it has been good for you that you have been afflicted, and if things had have gone as you and I would have had them going, we would never have done well. It is hard indeed to submit to His disposal, and to judge it fitter that He carve out our lot than that we ourselves do it; but He will order it, whether we choose or refuse. Now the Lord be with you, and work all his good pleasure in you. [John Welwood]
