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.
