o let me go out and pick up some sticks, that I might get alone, and pour out my heart unto the Lord. Then also I took my Bible to read, but I found no comfort here neither, which many times I was wont to find. So easy a thing it is with God to dry up the streams of Scripture comfort from us. Yet I can say, that in all my sorrows and afflictions, God did not leave me to have my impatience work towards Himself, as if His ways were unrighteous. But I knew that He laid upon me less than I deserved. What common theme does this excerpt share with the excerpt from "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God"?

It's B because the narrator says that they although not getting any inspiration from the Bible God still blesses them "But I knew that He laid upon me less than I deserved." and in the text <em>Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God </em>it is stated that although humanity has wicked ways and may fall -- burn in hell more precisely -- because of their wicked ways, the only thing that prevents this from happening according to the sermon is God's pleasure, which is held by no force, it is given as God's own choice.
