There is a man-child conceived. ' Chap. 5. ] satan's temptations. 217 &c. So also Jeremiah, chap. Xx. 14, ' Cursed be the day wherein I was born : let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed. Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man- child is born unto thee ; and let that man be as the cities which God overthrew, and repented not. ' Strange rashness ! what had the day deserved? or wherein was the messenger to be blamed? Violent passions hm-ried him beyond all b...ounds of reason and moderation. When troubles within are violent, a small push sets men forward; and when once they begin, they are carried headlong beyond what they first intended. [5. ] On this advantage the devil sometimes emboldens them to quarrel God himself directly. When Job_ and Jeremiah cursed their day, it was a contumely against God indirectly ; but they durst not make bold with God at so high a rate as to quarrel him to his face. Yet even this are men brought to often when their sorrows are long- lasting and deep.
