1. Your wise God guides and orders every thing that befalls you for your good; (omnia bona, or in bonum) all things shall work together for good unto them that love him, Rom. 8. 28. Sometimes you have abundance, and that shall do you good; sometimes you have wants, and that shall do you good; sometimes you have honour and respect, and that shall do you good; sometimes you have dishonour and reproach, and that shall do thee good; sometimes you have enjoyments, and they shall do you good; and sometimes you have losses, and these shall do you good; sometimes you have liberty, and that shall do you good; and sometimes you have afflictions and crosses, and they shall do you good. Though there be diversities and contrarieties as to the outward condition, yet the tempest and the calm, the Winter and the Summer, all that befalls you, shall fall out for good, because all that befalls you comes from your wise God, who orders and guides all your contingencies for your good, and his own glory.
