Their graces and goodness appear most, when they are under the handling of evil and graceless men. Many of their corruptions are purged out, while they are in their power ⟨p. 279⟩who are not at all purged from their corruption. Foul hands may serve to wash that clean which is foul, and they who are but dross, may fetch off the rust which cleaves to the purest metal.
