Thirdly, By knowing the afflictions of others, and their holy deportment under 1them, thou mayest thereby learn patience, zeal, heavenly mindedness, and many other graces. Afflictions are Gods schools, and that whether on thy self, or on others. How much patience may we learn by the afflictions upon Job? Thus James 5. 10, 11. The Prophets who spake in the name of the Lord must be taken as an example of suffering affliction, and of patience; and ye have heard of the patience of Job: How greatly did the waves of God pass over his head? No Martyr, as Chrysostom amplifieth it, came near Job in all their sufferings: and therefore the holy Ghost thought fit to have the History of Job recorded, that all might know and learn by it. Be not then a stranger to the sufferings of Gods people, but inform thy self about them, to imitate their graces, to be encouraged to do the like, when God shall call thee to fight his battles.
