Afflictions to be looked on as coming from God onely. [ 380]
A Man when he would drink of the water of the River, he drinketh not of it
neer the Sea where it is brackish,* 1.1 but he goes up to the Fountain where it is
sweet and pleasant. So if we will ever find comfort in our afflictions, we must learn
to take them out of Gods hand, to pass by the Instrument, and look up to the A∣gent;
for in the second causes we shall find much malice and hatred,* 1.2 but in God
much mercy and goodness;* 1.3 and thus did Iob when the Chaldeans robbed him; thus
David when Shimei cursed him;* 1.4 thus Ioseph when his Brethren maligned him;
and thus that Kingly picture of patience when he was even worried to death by his
own enraged People.* 1.5
