3 Q. Who hath done this, that you mourn so much for? Was it not by the Providence of God? And will you quarrel with him, or call him to an account, why he hath done so? Or should not his Hand quiet your Heart? Read Job 33.13. 1 Sam. 3.18. Psal. 39.9.
4 Q. Do not you hereby contradict your Prayers? Do not you pray his Will might be done, and submitted to when it's done? Do not you see it was his Will to have your Relation from you, and is this your submission to it? Is it so done in Heaven, as you do it upon Earth?
5 Q. Hath God herein taken any from you, but what he first gave unto you? Who gave you your Children, or Husband, or Wife? were they not the Gifts of God? Did not this quiet Job? Chap. 1.21.
