They sometimes witness for us, evidencing our graces, our faith, patience, sincerity and submission to the hand of God, they are witnesses also of our adoption or spiritual sonship (Heb. 12.8.) If you be without chastisement whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. It is no good sign to be free from sufferings. Hear ye the rod, saith the Prophet Micah: as we ought to hear it, calling us from sin: so we may hear it calling us sons. Chastenings speak our privileges, as well as our duties.

If you be without chastisement whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. It is no good sign to be free from sufferings. Hear ye the rod, saith the Prophet Micah: as we ought to hear it, calling us from sin: so we may hear it calling us sons. Chastenings speak our priviledges, as well as our duties.
They often witness against us;
They often witnesse against us;
First, That sin is seated in us, and hath been acted by us. If we had no sin, we should know no sorrow. Though some afflictions are not sent out directly against sin, yet every affliction is both a consequent and a testimony of remaining sin. The bundle of rods at our backs, saith, there is folly and sin bound up in our hearts: and when once we are purged from all sin, we shall hear no more of any affliction, of any rod. We shall be past suffering, as soon as we are past sinning.
