7. Chastisements sanctified meeken the heart, and moderate anger, mortify in man hatred and malice, which generate thoughts and desires of revenge, against the instruments in Gods hand; They beget patience under all strokes; I have sinned, 1therefore I will bear the indignation of the Lord, saith the soul, whose Chastisement is sanctified, and justifies God in all his dealings.

- 1Mic. 7.9.
8. Chastisements sanctified, soften the heart, and make it pliable to the will of God; they subject a man unto Christs yoke.
9. They fit a man for any condition that God calls him unto, prosperity or adversity; they fit him to abound, and fit him to want, fit him to live to Christ, and fit to him to dye for Christ; they fit a man to live to Christ here, and to live with Christ hereafter in Heaven.
