Secondly, God doth usually try by affliction, and that's the left hand way. (James 1 12.) Blessed is the man that endureth temptation (meaning affliction) for when he is tried he shall receive the crown of life, &c. That is, when those temptations and afflictions have tried him, and he hath approved himself in the trial; then, he shall receive the crown of life, &c. (1 Pet. 1.6.) Though now for a season (if need be) ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations, that the trial of your faith being much more precious then of gold that perisheth, ¹though it be tried with fire, might be found to praise, &c. Affliction is the trial of our faith in God, and of our patience under the hand of God. When nature is vexed it shows it self, and so doth grace. Affliction discovereth both what our virtues and what our corruptions are.
