Phile. Yes verily,1 for God scourgeth and healeth. God leadeth unto hell and bringeth out again. God killeth and maketh alive. God after a storm maketh the weather fair & calm. God after weeping & heaviness, giveth great joy. When God had throughly tried Toby, and found him constant in his faith, he restored unto him his sight again. For the which Toby most humbly thanked him and said:2 O Lord God of Israel, I give the praise and thanks, for thou hast chastened me, and made me whole again.
