Faith, like the Philosophers stone, turns all into Gold; sees all Gods dealings to be for good.
Faith, like the Philosophers stone, turns all into Gold; sees all Gods dealings to bee for good.
If God then afflict a man; why, will Faith say, It's for good. I have need of such Afflictions, to work out such a strong corruption.
Are the Afflictions many? why, will Faith say, I have need of many Afflictions, because I have many corruptions.
Are they long? why, I have need of that too: because sin and I are so hardly parted: It is so hard to make a divorce betwixt sin and my soul; and therefore the afflictions had need to continue long.
