And we may justify God when he any way abaseth us in this world:1 2he knows what he hath to do with us, let us leave that to him, so he save our souls, and sanctify them, and delight in us to heaven and happiness: if his pleasure be to diet us in this world, in regard of riches, and greatness, that he do not answer our desires, but keep us under hatches; let us leave it to his will, he knows what to do with us: as the Physician knows better what concerns the sick, than the sick doth. ⟨p. 98⟩Therefore let us take in good part the wise dispensation of God.
