n experience is the teaching of God in the
soul—and the effects which this produces. Those effects may be, broadly,
summed up in two words—pain and pleasure, sorrow and gladness,
mourning and rejoicing. The natural world illustrates the spiritual world—as
there is a continual alternation between spring and autumn, summer and
winter—so there is, in the history of the soul. He who gives rain and
sunshine, also sends droughts and biting frosts; likewise does He grant
fresh supplies of grace—and then withhold the same; and also sends grievous
afflictions and sore tribulations. Herein is His high sovereignty
conspicuously displayed; as there are some lands which enjoy far more
sunshine than others—so some of His elect experience more of joy than
sorrow. And as there are parts of the earth where there is far more cold
than heat
