1. He acknowledgeth that all the sorrows and sufferings of this life, are not only his desert, but less than his desert, Ezra 9.13. Job 11.6. He will not only justify Gods anger, but magnify his mercy in all the sorrows that befall him here in this World, Lam. 3.22. if God take away his Estate, comforts of his life, strip him naked of all, yet naked as he is, he chargeth not ⟨p. 239⟩God, but blesseth him, Job 1.20,21,22. the threatenings of God are just, his executions of them righteous, and his moderation of them merciful.
