Let us receive all things of God 1whether it be good or bad: let us humble our selves under his mighty hand and submit our selves unto his nurture and chastising, and not withdraw our selves from his correction. Read Hebr. xij. for thy comfort: and let us not take the staff by the end or seek to avenge our selves on his rod, which is the evil rulers. The child as long as he seeketh to avenge him self upon the rod hath an evil hart. For he thinketh not that the correction is right or that he hath deserved it, neither repenteth, but rejoiceth in his wickedness. And so long shall he never be without a rod: yea so long shall the rod be made sharper and sharper. If he knowledge his fault and take the correction meekly and even kiss the rod and amend him self with the learning and nurture of his father & mother, then is the rod taken away and burnt.
