But his life was rich in noble aims and charitable deeds , and with his strong nature softened by the sharp discipline of sorrow , and sweetened by the presence of a generous love , he was content to dwell alone with the memory of little Jamie , in the shadow of " the cross upon the tower . There was a sea of grace and saving light in Christ : no created will stooped to the light of a revealed decree in such a submissive measure , in a hell of fear , sorrow , and anguish for an evil of punishment more than any creature was able to bear , as he did ; Nevertheless , not my will , but thy will be done : far more in other things of less pain should we suffer . if our hearts are really His , if our lives are as truly built on Him as our profession of being Christians alleges that they are , then all that we need for the satisfaction of our nature , for the supply of our various necessities , or as an armour against temptation , and an amulet against sorrow , will be given to us , in the belief that His eye is fixed upon us .

Yes , very true ; the soul then directs all things in heaven , and earth , and sea by her movements , and these are described by the terms-will , consideration , attention , deliberation , opinion true and false , joy and sorrow , confidence , fear , hatred , love , and other primary motions akin to these ; which again receive the secondary motions of corporeal substances , and guide all things to growth and decay , to composition and decomposition , and to the qualities which accompany them , such as heat and cold , heaviness and lightness , hardness and softness , blackness and whiteness , bitterness and sweetness , and all those other qualities which the soul uses , herself a goddess , when truly receiving the divine mind she disciplines all things rightly to their happiness ; but when she is the companion of folly , she does the very contrary of all this .
