3.1 God begins with his own ⟨p. 47⟩servants, that his children might be best at last; if he should not begin with them, they would grow deeper in rebellion against him, and attract more soil and filth to themselves, and be more and more engaged to error and corruption; Gods love to his people is such, that he regards their correction before the confusion of his enemies.

Again,1 God doth this, that when he sends them good days afterwards, they might have the more taste and relish of his goodness▪ after an afflicted life, we are more sensible of happy times; God deals favourably therefore with a man, when he crosseth him in the beginning of his days, and gives him peace in his latter end.
