Suggest. 13. Troubles are fruits of Gods wrath: to conceit any peace with God while troubles lie on us, is to call darkness light, and hatred love. To build patience on assurance of reconciliation with God, is to cast anchor upon quick-sands, or in a bottomless Sea. A man may better hope for life when the tokens of the plague appear upon his skin, then hope for reconciliation with God, while troubles, the tokens of Gods wrath, lie upon him. The assaults of Jobs wife and friends tended much to this purpose.
