Fifthly, Suffering times are sealing times, Act. 7. 55, 56, 59, 60. Rev. 1. 9, 10. 2 Cor. 4. 15, 16, 17. The primitive Christians found 1them so, and the suffering Saints in them Marian days found them so. When the Furnace is seven times hotter than ordinary, the Spirit of the Lord comes and seals up a mans pardon in his bosom, and his peace with God, and his title to heaven. When the world frowns most then God smiles most; when the world puts their iron chains upon the Saints legs, then God puts his golden chains about the Saints necks; when the world puts a bitter cup into one hand, then ⟨p. 237⟩the Lord puts a cup of consolation into the other hand; when the world cries out, Crucifiè them, crucify them, then commonly they hear that sweet voice from heaven, These are my beloved ones, in whom I am well pleased.
