God afflicting his Children for the improvement of their Graces. [ 1198]

IT is reported of the Lionesse,* 1.1 that she leaves her young whelps, till they have al∣most kill'd themselves with roaring and yelling, and then at last gasp when they have almost spent themselves, she relieves them, and by this means they be∣come more couragious: And thus it is that God brings his children into sadnesse, sor∣row, nay even into the very deeps of distress,* 1.2 he suffers Ionah to be three dayes and three nights in the belly of a Whale,* 1.3 David to cry out till his throat be dry, his Disciples to be all the night in a great storme till the fourth watch; and then it is that he rebuketh the winds,* 1.4 and relieveth his children, by which means he mightily encreaseth their Patience and dependance upon him, improveth their Graces, and en∣largeth their faith and hope in Christ Iesus.
