Inferiors are commonly very apt to complain. If every thing be not just to their mind, they are fretting and vexing, and their hearts are hot within them ; they are uneasy in their place and station, finding fault with every thing that is said or done to them. Here is wanting a quiet spirit, which would reconcile us to the post we are in, and to all the difficulties of it, and would make the best of the present state, though it be attended with many in- conveniences. Those unquiet people, whom ...the 84 HENRY ON MEEKNESS. apostle Jude in his epistle compares to raging waves of the sea, and wandering stars, were mur- murers and complainers — blamers of their lot — so the word signifies. It is an instance of unquiet- ness, to be ever and anon quarreling with our allot- ment. Those wives wanted a meek and quiet spi- rit, who " covered the altar of the Lord with tears ;" not tears of repentance for sin, but tears of vexation at the disappointments they met in their outward condition. Hannah's meekness and quietness was in some degree w^anting, when she fretted, and w^ept, and would not eat ; but prayer composed her spirit ; her countenance w^as no more sad.
