Afflictions adde unto the beauty of a true Christian. [ 430]
LOok upon a painted poast or sign whose colour is laid in oyle,* 1.1 how the rain
beats upon it in stormy weather, that one would think all the colour would
be washed off, yet how the water glides away, and leaves it rather more beautiful
then before: And thus it is with every child of God, being well varnished, and
garnished with graces of the Spirit, let the wind of persecution blow, and the flouds
of affliction lift up their voice, they shall never braid, nor deface, but rather adde
unto their beauty; Such is the condition of grace, that it shines the brighter for
scouring, and is most glorious when it is most clouded.
