The use or benefit of this doctrine is three fold. First that we may learn apatience in adversity: for that hereby we know that bGod sendeth not adversity to destroy us, but for our cgood. The second, that in prosperity we may be dthankful unto God: for that we see, it is God, who moveth mens minds & actions to wish and to do eus good: or at least wise, albeit they do wish us evil, yet they can not fhurt us, but rather do us good. Again we see it is he which giveth a blessing also to things which have gno life even for our good. The third benefit is, that we may be hassured, that God will ever be a father unto us, both to protect us from evil & to confer upon us all good things.
