The pattern of wholesome words. Or a collection of such truths as are of necessity to be believed unto salvation separated out of the body of all theology made evident by infallible plain proofs of Scripture. And withal, the several uses such principles should be put to, are abundantly showed. A project much desired, and of singular use for all sorts of Christians. By N. Bifeild [sic], preacher of Gods word at Isleworth in Middlesex.The paterne of wholsome words.

3. By the sanctification of their afflictions, even by the many experiences of Gods love in afflictions, as when God comforts ⟨p. 149⟩their hearts in the midst of distress, when they come to him making their moan; and when he turns the cross to a blessing to them, making them more humble by it, exercising their gifts, purging out their sin, &c. and at the length giving gracious deliverances, causing all to work together for the best, so as they themselves being Judges, they can say it was good for me, that I was afflicted, Rom. 8.28.29. Also we know, that all things work together for the best to them that love God, even to them that are called of his purpose, &c.
