Propositions and Inferences to be made to the sick Concerning the Wisdome and Providence of God in the ordering of all afflictions in general and this in special 1 YOu are persuaded that no sickness or cross cometh by chance to any 2. But you beleeve that it is God who sendeth them without whose providence they fall not on us 3. You acknowledge God to be most wise and to suffer nothing to befall us but when it is expedient it so should 4.

Job 1.21 I will take this cup of salvation and give thanks to the Name of the Lord. Psal. 116.12 3. Especially for that we in the time of our health forgetting Him yet He is so merciful that He giveth us not over with the world but for all we have of grieved His Holie Spirit and fallen from grace He visteth us again and offereth it afresh unto us 4. That if His will had not been to shew mercie by this chaftisement He could would have suddenly taken you away with a quick destruction and not given you this time to bethink yourself and to seek and sue to Him for grace Say When I am judged I am chastened of the Lord that I might not be condemned with the world I Corinth 11.32 Gods very punishment is a part of His mercie Psal. 89.32 It is a great mercie of the Lord that we are not suddenly consumed Lament 3.22 For giving you a time and space Revel 2.21 O tarrie thou the Lords leasure be strong and He shal comfort thine heart
