7. See here that Scripture fulfilled, Psal. 73.1. God is good to Israel. 1When one looks upon cross Providences, and sees the Lord covering his people with ashes, and making them drunk with Wormwood, Lam. 3.15. he would be ready to call in question the Love of God, and to say that he hath dealt hardly with his people; Oh no, yet God is good to Israel, because he makes all things work for good. Is not he a good God, who turns all to good? he works out sin, and works in grace; is not this good? 1 Cor. 11.32. We are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. The Hell of affliction is to save us from the Hell of damnation. Let us always ⟨p. 79⟩justify God; when our outward condition is never so bad, let us say, yet God is good.
