Preaching on 1 Pet. 1. 6. If need be, you are in Heaviness.—He showed what need the People of God have of Afflictions. The same need that our Bodies have of Physic, that our Trees have of Pruning, that Gold and Silver have of the Furnace, that Liquors have of being emptied from Vessel to Vessel, that the Iron hath of a File, that the Fields have of a Hedge, that the Child has of the Rod.
