245. On Complaining.
A child of God complains of what he wants,He grieves he is so bad; from ordinance
To ordinance, he goes for a supply
Of his great wants, though he dares not deny
The work of grace, yet he laments he hath
No more grace, that he hath so little faith,
145
And that he can for God so little do.
While some complain of poverty alas!
My soul, do thou complain thou wantest grace.
