19. That which leadeth a man with Paul and Silas to sing Psalms in the stocks, in Prison, and in scourges, that is a strong Faith; Job is hence known to be strong in the Faith, because being made a most miserable man in regard of heavy afflictions, he could bless God: A strong Faith prophecieth glad tidings out of the fire, out at the window of the Prison, and rejoiceth in bonds, Mic. 7.8.9. Isa. 52, 1, 2. and 54.1, 2, 3, 4. To glory in tribulation is an Argument of one justified by Faith, Rom. 5.1, 2, 3. And the greater gloriation of Christs chains and cross, ⟨p. 367⟩is a stronger reason to conclude a strong Faith.
