Answer. I answer, the difference lies in two particulars.
First, the judgements that are laid on the wicked, they come from Gods anger, and God requires them in way of satisfaction unto divine justice; but all the corrections, and chastisements, and terrors, and troubles that befall the godly, they come from Gods love, and from his Fatherly care. A Physician cuts a man, and an enemy stabs a man, the knife was all alike; but to the one, it comes from a friend, and to the other it comes from an enemy: so God doth send afflictions to the godly, and to him they ⟨p. 291⟩come from the hand of a Father, and to the other they come as from a Judge: there are no judgements are sent upon the wicked, but they come in part of satisfaction; and divine Justice faith, thou must to hell for all those sins of thine, and I will have something in part of payment, before thou come there; but to the godly, the wrath of God is satisfied to the full, and the debt is fully paid: and therefore God never lays any thing upon the Saints so much to satisfy divine justice, as to correct and amend them.
