We shall never think God deals harshly, or rigorously with us, if we do but enter into and pass a right judgement upon our own souls. As they that judge themselves shall not be judged of the Lord, (1 Cor. 11.31.) so, they that judge themselves will never judge the Lord; no, they will acquit and justify the Lord under all his proceedings, even in his sorest and severest ones. Thus did Ezra in reference to those great and unparalleled sufferings of the Jews in the Babylonian war and captivity, (Chap. 9.13.) Thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve. And so did Daniel (Chap. 9.7.) O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day.
