The dead saint speaking to saints and sinners living in several treatisesThe dead saint speaking to saints and sinners living in severall treatises

We should be humbled for the fault, & bless God for the Remedy; and withal, admire that wisdom and that goodness, which hath taken occasion by mans wickedness, to declare his own goodness; by mans sin, to make known and express the infiniteness of his wisdom, power, mercy, justice, &c. That this should be an occasion to draw out all his Glorious Attributes: That he should bring Good out of Evil, Life out of Death, Heaven out of Hell, Good out of sin, Cordials out of Poison.

Let us never doubt, never suspect, but God can bring good out of any thing; turn the Greatest Evils to the advancement of his Glory, and the good of his people; who can, out of sin and Hell, bring good. What is it to turn Afflictions, Persecutions, the Plots and Malice of men? What is it to turn Troubles, Wars, &c. to his own Glory, and Advancement of his own cause? who was able to turn Sin to all this?

He, that can turn the Evil of sin, which is Pure Evil, and the Greatest Evil; can much more turn the Evil of Trouble, to the good of his people.
