Hath God ever promised thee, that no such thing should befall thee? I am sure thou canst show no such promise. Hast not thou deserved as much as Jacob, to be severely chastened of God? I am sure thou oughtest to say yes. Doth not thy body, soul, name, children, lie abroad in as open a Sea, and as tempestuous? Here also thou oughtest to say yes, and therefore shouldest also condemn these silken soft hopes of thine, and say, Well, God may make me as afflicted as Jacob, and therefore I will even expect the same, or as bad; and if they come I will bear them all, seeing God and my ill deservings in them. Yonder is a very towardly boy, I love him dearly: what if I should hear he were torn of beasts? Lord if it be thy will, let it not be so; but if it be, make me to bear it with quietness: and why should I not so stoop to thy will in every thing; yea I will do it by thy grace. If thou say, I see many escape such crosses.

Lord if it be thy will, let it not be so; but if it be, make me to beare it with quietnesse: and why should I not so stoope to thy will in every thing; yea I will doe it by thy grace. If thou say, I see many escape such crosses.
I answer, and thou seest many afflicted with them, and why mayest not thou be amongst the number of those that suffer them, as well as of those that escape them.
