A taste of 17th Century preaching I'm listening to on youtube:
It is expedient sometimes that God should displease his people for their advantage. The Shepherd must chose the pasture for the sheep, whether bare or full-grown. The child is not to be governed by his own fancy, but the father’s discretion, nor the sick man by his appetite, but by the Physician’s skill.
(John 16:6-7)
The Puritan Thomas Manton, (1620-1677) preaching on
Psalm 131:2
