Fifthly, Know, afflictions are the portion of the people of God in this life. They are the corrections of a father, and there is no son but hath his correction, or may have it. And shall we strive with God for sending us our portion, our son-like, child-like portion?
Sixthly, I would say this to believers, Why will ye strive ⟨p. 261⟩with God about any of your afflictions? they are for your good and benefit. And will ye strive with God, because he is doing you good? let your afflictions be never so sad, never so sore, and to sense never so bad, yet God is doing you good by them; be not angry with your own good?

Lastly, Why do we strive with God under our afflictions; He loveth us as much under affliction, as in a prosperous condition. God is tender to his in their troubles, and shall they be harsh to him, when he is so tender towards them? A parent that hath but nature, will tender his child most when sick and weak, and will not God? Let us take heed we be not found striving with, or having hard thoughts of God while the bowels of his most tender compassions are moving towards us.
