The last is, that afflictions cease to be curses, and are turned to blessings: and for this cause they are delayed and qualified for the good of them which are afflicted. Psal. 89. 32. J will correct them that offend with a rod, but I will not take my mercy from them. Prou. 3. 11. Grieve not for the correction of the Lord: §5for he loveth, whom he correcteth. Jerem. 10. 24. Correct us in judgement: and pour forth thy wrath upon the nations, that have not known thee. This must teach men that profess, or teach Christ, not to be discouraged when they are abused, railed on, slandered, or cursed. For if they be from under the law, and §10so from under the sting of a guilty conscience; nothing shall hurt them. They must be content for a while to suffer the snatches, and bitings of the devil: for in the end his head shall be bruised in pieces.
