If he give me the thing without the Grace what am I the better? a carnal Reprobate may have that.
So let us trust him, as he will be trusted: for Grace and spiritual things, all shall be for our good without fail; but for the things of this life, either he will give them, or else graces.
Let us trust God therefore, as he will be trusted in his word and promises.
Now this trusting of God, (to speak a little to the present purpose, because Saint Paul was now in great affliction, when he learned to trust 1in God: he was in fear of Death.) Let us see how we are to exercise this trust in great crosses, and in the hour of Death. St. Paul was in these two.
- 1Trust how exercised in great afflictions.
