SERMON IIII
1 PET. 4. 19. Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit their so•les to him in well doing, as to a faithful Creator.
1 PET. 4. 19. Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit their so•les to him in well doing, as to a faithfull Creator.
Though Divinity be clear in other differences from carnal or natural reasons; yet it hath hom•geniall reasons and grounds ⟨p. 126⟩Of its own, whence come inferences as natural as for the tree to bear fruit, or the Sun to shine; so upon the former divine grounds (for it is a matter of suffering wherein we must have pure Divinity to support our souls) The Apostle comes to bring a spiritual inference suitable to the same, in the words read unto you: Wherefore concluding all to be true that was said before, Let them that suffer, &c. Wherein consider, 1. That the state and condition of Gods children is to suffer. 2. The dispensation of that suffering, (they suffer not at all adventures, but) according to the will of GOD. 3. Their duty in this estate, namely, to commit the keeping of their souls to God.
