12. When God Afflicts his Children he deals well with them, because he affords them his Divine presence, Psalm 91.15. I will be with him in trouble. God never Promised us a Charter of Exemption from trouble, but he hath Promised to be with us in trouble. Better be in a Prison and have Gods presence, than on a Throne and want it. Gods presence gives courage, Act. 23.11. When Polycarp was near the Theatre and going to Suffer, a Voice came from Heaven, Be of good cheer O Polycarp. Was not Christ with the Three Children? did not he go with ⟨p. 227⟩them into the fire? Dan. 3.25. I see four men in the fire, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. He who is the Second Person in the Trinity, made the Fourth Person in the Furnace.
