When as the ungodly do see the children of God in any misery and calamity, they rush even upon them at the first dash and say, ha, ha, this man thinketh that God ought to watch over him, and that no sorrow nor grief should come upon him, and now we see what is become of him. And because he hath heard him speak, he thinketh that God should never forsake him. But we see now what cometh of it. It is very true, that the ungodly of their own motion and inclination, will soon vomit out such blasphemies: but surely this cometh a great deal farther of, for it is Satan that putteth it into their minds & pusheth them on thereto, to the end to shake their faith, and utterly to overthrow it.
