9. If the worst things work for good to a Believer, what shall the best things, Christ, and Heaven? How much more shall these work for good? If the Cross hath so much good in it,1 what hath the Crown? If such precious Clusters grow in Golgotha, how delicious is that fruit which grows in Canaan? If there be any sweetness in the waters of Marah, what is there in the wine of Paradise? If Gods Rod hath Honey at the end of it, what ha•h his golden Sceptre? If the bread of affliction tastes so savoury, what is Manna? what is the Heavenly Ambrosia? If Gods blow and stroke work for good, what shall the smiles of his face do? If Grapes may be gathered of Thorns, what fruit will the Tree of Life yield? If temptations and sufferings have matter of joy in them, what shall Glory have? If there be so much good out of evil, what then is that good, where there shall be no evil? If Gods chastening mercies are so great, what will his crowning mercies be? Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
