And I see not but even in those persecutions which befall the godly for the Gospels sake, they may not, some of them at least, and sometimes, be humiliations for the Godlies former sins, as well as explorations of their Graces, and more eminent glorifying of them here and hereafter. I deny not but even in afflictions for their sins, the people of God may take comfort to their souls from several considerations, but I think not that the ⟨p. 39⟩Apostle doth refer to them in this place: Let us now consider what dangerous Absurdities would flow from this doctrine of ours;1 and first (saith he) this is to confound Law and Gospel together. The Law should be preached only to secure sinners, the Gospel to broken sinners only; whereas if you tell the godly when they are afflicted, that it is from their sins, you preach Law to them.
