4. Judgments more sharp on his own people than others. Psal. 89.7. Lam. 1.12. Dan. 9.12.
(2.) All this he doth out of the purest, eternal and unchangeable Love, that he bears his Children, God chastens, and corrects his Children, that he may keep them from sinning as others do, and as themselves have done; and from perishing for ever in their sins as others shall. He meddles not with thorns, and briars, but prunes his Vines, that they may no more yield such sour Grapes. He casts his Children as Gold into a Furnace here, to refine, and purify them, that he may not be forced to cast them, as stubble into an Eternal flaming Oven hereafter: And this in Love, Exo. 4.24. Job 7.17, 18, 19. Psal. 119.71, 75. & 89.30, to 38. Jer. 59.7. Lam. 3.33. Hos. 4.14. Am. 3.2. Heb. 12.6, 7. Rev. 3.19. 1 Cor. 11.30, 32. And now Parents, as you have seen your Heavenly Father do, do you. In his strength follow his Example.
