Thirdly, Though God doth visit the transgressions of his people with a Rod, yet it is a Rod that Chastiseth in measure, as you may find Isaiah 27.7, 8. Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him, or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him? In measure when it shooteth forth thou wilt debate with it, he stayeth his rough wind, in the day of the East-wind: and so in Psalm 89.31, 32. ⟨p. 137⟩If his Children forsake my Law, then will I visit their transgressions with a rod, and their iniquity with stripes: And so 2 Sam. 7.14. I will be his Father and he shall be my son, if he commit iniquity I will chastise him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men; So I say, though God chastise his own people with a rod, yet it is in measure, but the bones of the wicked shall be broken, it shall fall very heavy upon them.
