This truth well digested is enough not only to supersede and stop all the undue fears, but to establish the comforts of all the people of God. What can be better for us, then that all things are in so good a hand, that they are appointed and measured out by God, that he cuts out our condition for us, that he forms and frames our state for us. It hath been said, Every man is the fashioner of his own Condition, there is some truth in that, mens conditions are much according to their actings; but God is the supreme fashioner and orderer of every mans state and portion. The portion of the wicked is set out by God (Job 20.29.) This is the heritage of the wicked, and the portion appointed to him of God. Theirs is indeed a sad portion, but it is a just and a deserved one. He also fashions and cuts out a portion for his own people; And though theirs is often for the present a bitter one, and so deserved by them, yet he always makes it a good one to them, and hath prepared a better for them, which they have not at all deserved. He performeth the thing that is appointed for me: And many such things are with him.
