The God of all comfort, which comforteth us in all our tribulations, that we may be able to comfort them which are in affliction, by the comfort wherewith our selves are comforted of God. ⟨p. 174⟩Rom. 5. 3. We glory in afflictions, knowing that affliction bringeth patience. Heb. 2. 10. He did consecrate the Prince of their salvation through affliction. We permit Chirurgeons that they both bind us lying diseased in our beds, and sear us with hot irons, yea launch and search our members with razors: and lastly, we send them away usually with friendly and kind speeches, & often with a golden fee for their thus handling us. Shall we then suffer so many things of a Chirurgeon, to cure a bodily disease, and will we not give God leave to cure by afflictions the most festered diseases of our sick souls?
