The third Century.
301. God afflicts Saints, because he loves them; the Devil afflicts them, because he hates them; If God did not love them, he would not; if the Devil did love them, he would not afflict them. God afflicts them for their gain, that they may be sanctified and saved; the Devil afflicts them for their loss, that they may sin and be damned: But this is their comfort, that God loves them more then the Devil can hate them, and that Gods love will do them more good, then the Devils hatred can do them ⟨p. 234⟩hurt; and that God is better able to bring about his ends, then the Devil is able to bring about his. Lord, let me be a Saint, though an afflicted one, and loved of thee, though the world and the Devil hate me. Sanctify; I do beseech thee, the Devils temptations, and mine own corruptions to me; I shall then know that all things work together for my good, when I am the better; and that they are sanctified to me, when I am the more sanctified.
