1. Doth the Lord permit wicked men to rage, and insult, persecute, and vex his people? Yet all this while Providence is in its right way, it walks in as direct a line to your good, as when it is in a more pleasant path of Peace. Jer. 24. 5. Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel, like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for their good. Israel was sent to Babylon for their good. This improves your faith and patience, Rev. 13. 10. Here is the patience and f•ith of the Saints. So R•m. 5. 2, 3. By whom also we have access by faith into this grace, wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God; and not only so, but we glory in tribulations also; knowing that tribulation worketh patience. By this you are weaned from, and mortified to this world.
