Gods favour and goodness doth not free his servants from afflictions, but delivereth them out of afflictions. Whereinto he casteth the wicked, though they be not always of the same kind with those which the godly suffer, but worse and more durable, and such as are mixed with Gods wrath, and poisoned with the sting of their own evil conscience.
GOds fauour and goodnes doth not free his seruants from afflictions, but deliuereth them out of afflictions. Whereinto hee casteth the wicked, though they be not alwaies of the same kind with those which the godly suffer, but worse and more durable, and such as are mixed with Gods wrath, and poisoned with the sting of their owne euill conscience.
Doct. Though the afflictions of good men seem sharp, and grievous, yet they are not perpetual.
Doct. Though the afflictions of good men seeme sharpe, and grieuous, yet they are not perpetuall.
Before ever God bring his into troubles, he appointeth how they shall be preserved in them, and pass thorough them, and get out of them. He doth as well foresee their arrival as their launching forth, and the end of the boisterous storms which they must endure, aswell as the beginning and entrance thereof. Many, 1or great are the troubles of the righteous, but the Lord delivereth him out of all. Neither number, nor grievousness, nor continuance of crosses, nor power of persecutors, nor any other impediment ⟨p. 24⟩can hinder his hand from helping his distressed servants.
