1 How manifestly is the world
framed for the necessities
of a race of sinners.

In sweat of brow –
Pains mingle with all pleasures.
Toil & care are the conditions
of all prosperity. (Cruel)
(Surgeon – a Father – a government.)

God is treating us as he should –
He ought not to treat us any
differently till we are better.

2 What hope may we have in him!
Through him what may we not become
