the Cup of Affliction and God will shortly say Transeat Calix Let this Cup pass away from them Isa. 35.10 Sorrow and sighing shall fly away As Affliction hath a Sting to torment so it hath a Wing to fly 15. When God puts his Children to the School of the Cross he deals well with them because these Afflictions are Manuductions to lead them to Heaven Per crucem ad coelum 2 Cor. 4.17 Our light Affliction worketh for us a far more exceeding and Eternal weight of Glory Upon the dark Colour of Affliction God layes the Golden Colour of Glory O thou weeping Saint what a blessed change shalt thou shortly have Thou shalt change thy Pilgrimage for Paradise Thou shalt have thy wish Are riches desirable thou shalt have Gates of Pearl Is Honour desireable thou shalt have white Robes Is Pleasure desireable thou shalt enter into the Joy of thy Lord. O think what it will be to be sweetly immersed in the River of Life and Bathe in the Hony-streams of Gods Love for ever think what the Beatifical Vision will be what it will be to wear a Garland made of the Flowers of Paradise think what it will be to have the Soul thicker set with Jewels of Glory than the Firmament is bespangled with Stars O what a Compensation will this be for all a Christians Tryals A sight of this bliss will make him forget his Sufferings One Sun-beam of Glory will dry up the Water of his Tears If God dealswell with us when he chastiseth us then it becomes us to Cherish good Thoughts of God We are apt in Adversity to think hardly of God this ariseth from Pride Such commonly as are of high Spirits are of high Passions they think themselves better than others and that they have deserved better at Gods hands and now Pride vents it self in murmuring O let us take heed of having hard Thoughts of God The Patient hath no cause to think ill of the Physician when he prescribes him a bitter Potion seeing it is in order to a Cure Gods afflictive Providences are the strokes of a Father not the Wounds of an Enemy God smites that he may save Out of the bitterest Drug God distils his Glory and our Happiness Let us Think well of God nay in all adverse Providences let us learn to bless God 1 Thes. 5.18 ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã In every thing give thanks if in every thing then in Affliction And good reason because God deals well with us Iob blessed God in Affliction cap. 1.21 The smiting of Jobs Body was like the striking upon a musical Instrument he sounded forth Thankfulness A gracious Soul should bless God that he will take so much Notice of him as to Visit him with the Rod and is so kind as rather to Afflict him than lose him This shews an high degree of Grace not only to Iustifie God in Affliction but Magnifie him Believers are Gods Temples and where should his Praises be sounded forth but in his Temples FINIS * Eccles. 12.12 * 2 Cor. 1.1 â Mundi facundiam non venditavit Vorstius * Dan. 10.21 * ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã â Drusius * Nihil erat integrum neque in sacerdotibus neque in vulgo laxis quasi habenis in omni genere scelerum grassati fuerunt Calvin Doct. * Iste vir totius orbis impetum sustinuit Quest.
