But Gods children suffer as many and the same material evils with other men as poverty sicknesse losses crosses and death it self Eccles 9.1 There is one event to all yea the godly have oft the worst of it Psal 73.14 All the day long have I been plagued and chastened every morning while the wicked vers 5. Are not in trouble like other men How then doth it appear that Christ hath suffered all the punishment of the elect Sol A carnal eye indeed seeth things in this estate but a righteous judgement sees them farre otherwise Moses could see the Bush all on fire and yet not consumed Exod. 3.2 Daniels companions met with a fiery Furnace whose flame burned not those that were in it but those that stood by Dan. 3.22 25. These were seemingly scorching fiery flames but were not so in reality But you will say wherein is the difference 1 In regard of the Principle from whence they come Difference between afflictions of godly and the wicked they much differ The judgements laid on the wicked come from an angry Judge the afflictions of the godly from a loving Father God punisheth the wicked as part of their payment in indignation and wrath whence they are called children of wrath Ephes 2.3 And when he is about to fill his belly God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him and shall rain on him while he is eating Job 20.23 All comes to the wicked from a Sin-revenging God but to the godly from a careful Father Heb. 12.6 Whom the Lord loveth he chastneth and scourgeth every Son whom he receiveth So God speaks of David Psal 89 30-34 If his children forsake my Laws and walk not in my judgements I will visit their offences Neverthelesse my loving kindnesse will I not utterly take from him nor suffer my faithfulnesse to fail 2 They differ in their nature They have not the venome nor poyson in them 1 Cor. 15.55 56. that Achitophels had who being but rejected once in his counsel had so much venome of sin in that small affliction that hee hanged himself 3 In their suitablenesse Miseries are called the Lords cup. An expression borrowed from Physitians that have their several Doses of Potions according to the several Diseases Now the wicked hath a cup fit for him Psal 11.6 Upon the wicked hee shall rain snares fire and brimstone and an horrible tempest this shall be the portion of their cup. Where could a man step when it rained fire and brimstone in Sodome This is a killing cup. So Psal 75.8 A cup full of mixture in the hand of the Lord whose dreggs the wicked of the earth shall drink So Jer. 25.28 and Isa 27.7 The godly have another cup fit for them who also have need of Physick and this cup sometimes is very bitter Joh. 18.11 Shall I not drink of the cup that the Father hath given me When a Father gives his dear child a potion how exact will he bee rather under than over in the quantities of the ingredients Christ hath drunk already the poysonous Cup Matth. 26.39 Father if it be possible let this cup passe from me None remains but the purging cup. And Gods faithfulnesse requires that this cup bee tempered according to our strength and ability 1 Cor. 10.13 4 They differ in their end Jam. 5.11 You have heard of the patience of Job and yee have seen the end of the Lord. What end That the Lord is very pittiful and of tender mercy So did Abraham Jacob and Joseph find an happy issue of all their sorrows Deut. 8.16 To doe thee good in the latter end David said it was good for him Psal 119. And calls the man blessed who endureth correction whom God chastiseth and teacheth Psal 94.12 and it is said Dan. 11.35 Some of them of understanding shall fall to try them and to purge them and make them white Now the calamities of wicked men doe hasten and heighten their everlasting destruction and are at best but the beginnings of sorrows and furtherers of their sins by making their hearts hard and their eyes blind As it fared with King Ahaz 2 Chron. 28.22 This is that King Ahaz that in the time of his distresse trespassed yet more against the Lord. This also was the event of Jerobeams calamities for 1 King 13.4 33. after his hand was withered and again recovered he returned not from his evil ways Look what good the flames of Hell doe the damned as much and no more doe afflictions for the wicked they curse God and blaspheme more and more God therefore stabs the wicked as an enemy with his Sword but lances the godly as a Surgeon his Patient with the Launcet Thus chastisements befall the godly but punishments the wicked Vse 3.

Comfort yee comfort yee my people c. they are commissioned from Heaven to speak to your very hearts telling you your iniquities are forgiven Why because you have received in your head mony enough to pay your debts to the utmost As God hath given us in charge to comfort you so hath he given you charge to receive comfort Let then the veriest babe in Christ come and refresh himself with these breasts suck at this Nipple wheresoever is the least spark of true grace let that soul rejoyce because Christ suffered all this perplexity and amazement that you might never suffer it Heb. 2.14 Hee dyed to deliver those that through fear of death c. he dyed to save you from slavish fear He wept that you might bee
