here he goes again...
"Roses grow upon briers, which is to signify that all temporal sweets are mixed with bitter. But what seems more especially to be meant by it, is that true happiness, the crown of glory, is to be come at in no other way than by bearing Christ's cross by a life of mortification, self-denial and labour, and bearing all things for Christ"
From Jonathan Edwards, Shadows of Divine Things
