We ought to think of Davids troubles, and to esteem it as an argument of Gods great favour towards us, if to the great carouses which we take of Gods blessings, it shall please him to add a purging potion of affliction. There is no true son, but (since folly is bound up by nature in his heart) the rod of correction must be laid upon him. From Adam to Christ, ⟨p. 445⟩in whom we all are, all have been partakers of affliction. It was Davids judgement. In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat thy bread: it was a part of Christs consecration, by affliction he was made the high Priest of our salvation.
