Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

God is angry with us, and justly, because we have sinned against him. " Note, It is our sin against God that provokes his indignation against us; and we must see it, and own it, whenever we are under divine rebukes, that we may justify God, and may study to answer his end in afflicting us, by repenting of sin and breaking off from it.
