When on the Sea of sorrow tost Thou hop'st no more, thou feelest lost Perchance in that unhappy hour Will save [[underline]] thee by his heav'nly pow'r. --- [[/underline]] God is benevolent when he gives, wise when he takes away, and justice, wisdom, & goodness are equally conspicuous in all he does. - When I shake the dust off my Shoes, it does not resist; I am but dust before God shall I complain when he seperates dust from dust, & suffers the mind to scatter it abroad. I will bear the shafts of fortune without repining, I will not revolt against the decrees of supreme perfection, nor will I say by my complainings, the Almighty has erred. ---
