6. God deals well with his People when he afflicts them, because he moderates his stroke, Jer. 30.11.* I will correct thee in Measure. 1. God doth not smite his Children so much as he might, Psal. 78.38. He did not stir up all his Wrath: God doth not make the Cup so bitter as he could. He useth Lenitives rather than▪ Corrosives: he lays a lighter burden on, he might lay on an heavier. Doth God take away a Child? he might take away his Spirit; Doth he chastise the Body? he might torment the Conscience.
