Let us receive all things of God whether it be good or bad:1 let us humble our selves under his mighty hand and submit our selves unto his nurture and chastising & not withdraw our selves from his correction (read Hebr. xij. For thy consort) and lat us not take the staff by the end or •eke to avenge our selves on his rod which is the evil rulers.2 The child as long as he seeketh to avenge him self upon the rod hath an evil heart. For he thinketh not that the correction is right or that he hath deserved it / nether repenteth / but rejoiceth in his wickedness. And so long shall he never be without a rod: yea so long shall the rod be made sharper and sharper. If he knowledge his fault and take the correction meekly and even kiss the rod and amend him self with the learning and nurture of his father and mother then is the rod take away and brunt
