Secondly, Seeing God hath the Charge of all the earth, we should as readily submit to his dispensations, works and dealings, as to his commands. The Jews of old complained (Ezek: 18.29.) The way of the Lord is not equal; They did even tell him to his face, his ways were not equal, and therefore they would not submit. The Church in captivity spake well (Lam: 3.28.) Out of the mouth of the most high proceedeth not evil and good; that is, whatsoever the Lord hath pronounced to do or hath done concerning us, is morally good and not evil, though it be penally evil and not good. Eli spake well also to this point ⟨p. 582⟩(1 Sam: 3.18.) It is the Lord, let him do what seems good in his own eyes; yet the thing which God was about to do, was such (v. 11.) as at which, both the ears of every one that heard it should tingle. To have the heart quiet while the ears tingle, is pure submission. And any unquietness or murmurings at the dealings of God, whether respecting our persons or our families, Churches, or Nations, are in some degree rebellions against the sovereign power of God.
