Secondly, It is a fault not only if we are not satisfied and pleased with what God doth, but if we do not praise and glorify God in and for what he doth; and that not only in his justice that he hath done us no wrong, but in his goodness, that he hath done all for our profit. That which turns to mans profit, should also turn to the praise of God; But (as the holy Apostle assureth us, Heb: 12.10.) God chasteneth his children for their profit (and that the best and noblest profit) that they might be partakers of his holiness; therefore we ought to praise and glorify him, or to glorify him with our praises while he is chastening us. Truly God is good to Israel (Psal. 73.1.) He is so, not only when he gives Israel outward good things, or things good to fence, but when he afflicts, when he writes bitter things against his Israel, and shows them only visions of sorrow and matter of amazement. Till our souls are wrought up to this Justification of God in his goodness, when things are worst with us, we in some degree justify our selves rather then God.
