From the ruling cause which orders and governs such events, namely, the will of God, whereby he hath appointed a certain time to exercise judgement in his house or Church, verse 17. at the beginning. For that which is there spoken of the time of judgement, is afterwards referred to the will of God, verse 19. 5. To the same purpose is the condition of the faithful set forth by comparing the condition of the unbelievers, verse 17, 18. which is declared by such a connection: If the condition of the faithful be so hard, the condition of the unbelievers must be altogether intolerable; whence he doth closely intimate, that we must neither envy the unbelieving persecutors, or revolt from the faith by reason of persecutions. From all these things the primary conclusion is specially inferred, verse 19. that the faithful in suffering afflictions should arm themselves ⟨p. 103⟩with true confidence, against all the perturbations and temptations which may arise unto them from afflictions.
