When we are afflicted, and the wicked spared, our state seemeth to them most vile. When we are both in prosperity, they seem more happy, than we. When they and we be both afflicted, they count our state happier then their own: But especially when they are afflicted, and we spared, Exod. 14.25.

1We may not assign the Lord in what place, state, condition, or in what company we would live, but as strangers wait on him, even as the hand-maid on her mistress, for whatsoever he will allow us. And when great afflictions come, yet not to be discomforted, nor unquiet, but cheerful still through §Ghope, as may be obtained of us, as we were in prosperity, least we should declare, that we serve God for our belly and ease: and seeing our God is never changed in any sort, we not to change.
