brother which was a confluence of sins but in their Affliction and crosses they met with in Egypt they began to bethinke themselves what they had done and their sinne so many yeeres afore committed came fresh to their remembrance Wee have verily sinned against our brother in that we saw the anguish of his soule when he besought us and we would not heare him and therefore is this trouble come upon us 2 Conversion and amendment of life which is that blessed fruit of righteousnesse which Afflictions bring to them that are exercised Hebr. 12. 11. And this proceedeth from the hatred of sinne which the former consideration did manifest in the uglinesse of it Hence schola cruc●s est schola lucis justitia By lying under the crosse wee receive instruction and settle to reformation The second consideration working content in respect of our graces is that troubles in generall not onely beget graces but beautifie and cleare them The same fire which consumeth drosse purgeth gold The world is the Furnace the godly are Gold Tribulation is the fire which as it turneth chaffe into ashes so it cleanseth gold from drosse and ashes See 1 Pet. 1. 7. and Psal. 66. 10. Looke as starres shine brightest in the night but are not seene in Sun-shine so Gods graces which make little show while the Sunne of prosperity shines on us make a great shine and show when the night of trouble commeth Further how doth their faith and constancy gracethem in trouble as in Iob and Abrahams triall which if their troubles were not could not so bewray and commend themselves like Camomile troden and the Palme pressed but rising under the weight Besides that trouble fitteth them to much fruitfulnesse for the good husbandman purgeth and pruneth the Vine That it may bring forth more and better fruit and so bee more profitable and beautifull Iohn 15. verse 2. And indeed as an earthen vessell is never fit for use before it bee burned in the fire so is it with us who are never fit to be vessels of honour till the fire of triall have purged formed and confirmed us Thirdly troubles exercise grace and so strengthen it As a man by wrestling is stronger and more expert so Affliction holds all graces on worke faith patience Prayer Meditation watchfulnesse against sinne holds the heart in the feare and love of God and of the love of the world You shall never see a Christian more Christian then in trouble as the three children never more glorious then in the Furnace CHRIST himselfe never more strong then on the Crosse and in the grave rising from under all the burden and curse of sinne Thus in respect of our sinnes and graces are Afflictions necessary Lastly if we consider our estate of glory and how trials conduce unto it we shall not want reason to bee contented under them for they are so farre from being prejudiciall to our glory as they are helpes and furtherances of the same for 1 Christian bearing of triall is made a note of such as shall partake in glory with whom it must not be better then with Christ himselfe who did weare a Crowne of thornes before his Crowne of glory And how can it be other seeing they testifie the love of God who loveth to the end Hebr. 12. 6. whom hee loveth he chasteneth They are markes of our Adoption for if ye be without correction whereof all are partakers ye are bastards and not sonnes They are markes of such as are in the highway to heaven which is all strawed with crosses and troubles Actes 14 22. Through many Afflictions wee must enter into heaven And they are markes of such as by drinking of Christs Cup are conformable to the Image of the Sonne of God Rom. 8. 29. Christ said to Zebede●● sonnes Ye shall drinke of the cup that I drinke of namely of trouble the nearer to Christ the sooner drinke it they that are farthest off that is his enemies drinke the dr●gs and bottome And therefore if you would know them as by an expresse marke see Revel. 7. 14. These are they that come out of great tribulation 2 To such onely is promised glory Iam. 1. 12. Blessed is the man that endureth temptation for when he is tryed he shall receive the Crowne of life which the Lord hath promised to them that love him Revel. 2 10. Ye shall be tryed ten dayes but be thou faithfull unto the death and I will give thee a Crowne of life 3 Glory is accomplished to such as endure trials for they cause an eternall weight of glory 2 Cor. 4. 17. And this is just with God to render to you which are troubled rest with us when Christ shall appeare 2 Thes. 1. 6 7. Now the godly heart out of these grounds to which many might be added fenceth it selfe and contenteth it selfe in all troubles in generall Hath my affliction such speciall goodnesse through Gods disposing to beget such excellent graces as humility knowledge obedience prayer patience repentance doth the Lord know and intend to beautifie purge and perfect his graces by the fire of Tribulation and make them shine and shew as jewels doth he exercise and hold in worke and so increase and strengthen his grace given by the same meanes Yea and more doth he further my glory with himselfe doth he testifie his love and lay in me the markes of my Adoption of my way to heaven and of conformity to his Sonne hath he promised and will hee accomplish that promise of glory to such as are troubled Why then should not I content my selfe and leane on the word in the hopefull expectation of that blessed end of my trouble See I not the Saints partners in the crosse with me I am 5. 10. Take the Prophets an example of enduring affliction Nay see I not my Lord Iesus consecrated by Afflictions shall not I contentedly partake in the sufferings of Christ shall I cast off or impatiently cary such light Afflictions which cause so great a weight of glory Would I fall out with my daily bread and are not these as necessary shall I measure Gods love by my outward estate did hee never love any of the Saints nor his deare Sonne of all whom none escaped many troubles CHAP.
