1. Particular and private afflictions are oft in love, by reason of Gods wise and tender care over his children, inflicted on them. aFor whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. And bGod chasteneth us for our profit. But we read not of any public and general judgement, which came not from the wrath of God. Many instances of the affirmative, that they were effects of wrath, were given before: and the Scripture affordeth many more: but not one to the contrary.
