5 He will keep us from the evil of all afflictions, Job 5. 19. God hath not promised to keep his people from afflictions, but to keep them from the hurt of them. Though they are not good in themselves, yet he will turn them to our good, Heb. 12. 10. 1 Cor. 11. 32. Jer. 24. 5. The good Figs were carried into Captivity for their ⟨p. 113⟩good. God hath promised that all things shall work together for our good, Rom. 8. 28. not only all Ordinances, &c. but all Afflictions, &c.
