2 We must be patient, when God inflicts any evil upon us, Rom. 12. 12. Patient in Tribulation.
1 The Lord sometimes lays heavy affliction upon his people, Psal. 38. 2. Thy hand lies sore upon me. The Hebrew word for* afflicted, signifies to be melted; God seems to melt his people in a furnace.

2 God doth sometimes lay divers afflictions on the Saints, Job 19. 17. He multiplieth my wounds: as we have divers ways of sinning, so the Lord hath divers ways of afflicting; some he melts away their estates, others he chains to a sick bed, others he confines to a Prison; God hath various arrows in his quiver, which he shoots.
