(2.) The Sting of present Evils is removed, by the Pardon of Sins, and the Sense of God's Love. You are secured from Death and Wrath, and God in Christ is your Father. Rom. 5.1, 2, 3. Therefore being justified by Faith, we have Peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ. 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. If his Love be shed abroad in the Heart, it is no great matter what we feel in the Body. The Venom of the Affliction, is the Curse due for Sin; that is gone, when we have first made sure of our personal Reconciliation with God, and Acceptance with him in Christ.

We know that all things work together for good to them that love God. Psal. 119.71. It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I might learn thy Statutes. And, ver. 25. I know, O Lord, that thy Judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me. Our wise and faithful God would not bring it upon us, if he did not know how to make a good use of it. By this we may discern whether God chasten us in Anger,
