4 The end of affliction is glorious;1 the Jews were captive in Babylon, but what was ⟨p. 177⟩the end? they departed out of Babylon with vessels of silver, with gold and precious things, Ezra. 1. 6. So, what is the end of affliction, it ends in endless glory, Acts 14. 22. 2 Cor. 4. 17. how may this rock our impatient hearts quiet: who would not willingly travel through a little dirty way, and ploughed lands, at the end whereof is a fair Meadow, and in that Meadow, a golden Mine?
