Let us give you some summary draught of them: As
1. That all afflictions do come from the love of a Father to such as believe. 1So that although they be grievous to flesh and blood, and have a bitter taste, yet they come from a sweet root. These thorns do grow upon a vine. These bitter streams come from a sweet fountain. Now this ground of comfort belongs to all that have an unfeigned love to God. Canst thou make out thy evidence of being in Christ? Is thy name to be found in the book of life? Then this comfort thou mayest apply to thy self; be thy condition or quality what it can be, thou mayest boldly take this cordial, and it is as proper for thee, as a David or Paul, any of those who are pillars in godliness. Heb. 12. 6. For whom he loveth, he chasteneth. So that you see here is such an argument of comfort, that every member of the body of Christ may use.
