Observe in general.
Observe in generall.
God doth not only afflict those whom he loves, but afflict them sorely and severely.
God doth not onely afflict those whom he loves, but afflict them soarely and severely.
He afflicts some, not only to the impairing and abating, but to the undoing and ruining of their outward comforts, and worldly enjoyments: Nothing can be said to decipher an afflicted state beyond what this word will bear. And that God doth afflict his chosen ones to the utmost rack of this phrase, will appear also from all that follows to the end of the fourteenth Verse; the opening of which will be a continual proof and illustration of this great and often experimented truth, upon, and among the precious Sons of Zion: This I shall hint all along, besides those observations which arise out of them: He hath broken me asunder, and what follows, in the same Verse; He hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces.
