8 Consider that all afflictions shall work at last for the good of Gods children. Rom. 8. 28. Though they are not bonae, yet they shall be in bonum; Though they are not good in themselves, yet they shall turn to their good. God beats his children, as we do our clothes in the Sun, only to beat •ut the Moths; God puts them into the fiery furnace, not to hurt them, but only to untie the bonds of their sins, as he deal• with the three children, Dan. 3. 25. God will either deliver them out of their afflictions, or send them to Heaven by them; Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
