Considerations.
1. As fire purges and purifies, so doe afflictions; God hath his furnace in Sion, there is fiery tryals to prove and to try the people of God, Psal. 66.10. 1. Pet. 4.12.
2. As the fire is made according to the will of the gold-smith, so our afflictions are according to the will of God.
3. As the time of the mettalls being in the fire is ac∣cording to the wisedome of the goldsmith, so the time of our afflictions are according to the wisedome of God.
4. When the mettall is melted and the drosse taken away, then it comes forth more pure, so when our hearts are humbled, and our corruptions purged, then we come forth as gold.
6. Fire increases by adding of fuell.
Addition breeds multiplication: the more fuell the greater is the fire.
