Whatever wind blows, bee it North, or South, good or evil; all is for the Churches benefit.

Hence is it, that Christ turneth the sadest and sorest perplexities that ever the World shall see, into an use of Comfort to his Church, Luk. 21.25, 26, 27, 28. There shall be signs in the Sun; and Moon, and Stars, distress of Nations, with perplexity, &c. Mens hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the World; for the Powers of Heaven shall be shaken; and then shall they see the Son of Man coming in a Cloud, with Power and great Glory. When these things begin to come to pass — then look up, and lift up your heads: for your Redemption draweth nigh.
