Pithy gems from Richard Sibbes!理查德·西贝斯的精辟箴言！
The depths of our misery — can never fall below the depths of God’s mercy.
我们痛苦的深度 — 永远无法低于上帝怜悯的深度。
What the heart loves best — the mind studies most.
心之所爱 — 即为心之所思。
It is better to go afflicted to Heaven — than merry to Hell.
带着苦难上天堂 — 胜过欢乐下地狱。
Poverty and affliction take away the fuel that feeds pride.
贫穷与苦难消除了滋养骄傲的燃料。
Whatever God takes away from His children — He either replaces it with a much greater favor, or else gives strength to bear it.
上帝无论从祂的子女那里拿走什么 — 祂要么以更大的恩惠替代，要么赐予力量去承受。
Sin is not so sweet in the committing of it — as it is bitter in the reckoning of it.
犯罪时的甜蜜 — 远不及清算时的苦涩。
