1And as we must labour to imitate holy David in doing: so likewise in suffering. We must be careful that nothing of Gods displease us, as we are careful (for our selves) that nothing of ours displease God. In doing, we ought to be careful that nothing of ours displease God: in suffering, that nothing of Gods dealing displease us: for there is rebellion in both, in passive obedience, as well as active. There is rebellion when we murmur, and will not be as God will have us, as if we were wiser than he, to appoint our own condition: whereas we should resign our selves as David, here I am, let the Lord do as it pleaseth him, and as they said in the Acts; The will of the Lord be done: and as we pray in the Lords prayer, Thy will be done, insinuating, not our own. We must be content to stoop in our sufferings obediently to God, because he is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works; in all the courses he takes with us, we should be ready to justify God in all things
