Again, §2Hereby your Afflictions shall be made blessings unto you. You say, How shall I know whether an Affliction be a blessing or no? Take this note: when thou canst bless God under an Affliction, then thy Affliction is made a blessing: thy very blessing of God under an Affliction, makes thy Affliction a blessing to thee. Job, greatly afflicted ⟨p. 321⟩and he blest God, and his Affliction was a blessing to him: so shall it be with you. Touch but thy Affliction with a Thankful heart, it will turn it into gold.
