Reas. 2 2. It is a special means to quiet the heart with patience, Psal. 39.9.1 I was dumb and spake not, because thou Lord didst it. See it in Ely, It is the Lord, let him do what he will with me: and in Christ himself, shall not I drink of the cup which my ⟨p. 507⟩father shall give me? Is God my God, and doth this come from my Father? I will take it, I am sure it will do me no harm but much good.

3. By this means the soul is put upon the enquiry, why Reas. 3 this affliction is upon it,1 what the cause of this trouble may be; when we see nothing but man the instrument of an affliction, we look not so much at it, it never puts us upon soul-search and trial of our selves, but when God is seen in a cross, the soul begins to consider, what have I done? what's the matter oh my soul? Thus did the Church: Mica. 6.9. Hear ye the Rod, and who hath appointed it: There are letters written upon Gods rods which the man of wisdom can read.
