it is a merciless mistake, sometimes even of Gods own children, to sit down under affliction, especially if sore and of long continuance, and conclude, God doth not love them, because he doth correct them. It seems to be the very case of the beleeving Hebrews; they judged themselves out of Gods favor, because under Gods frowns: not at all beloved, because so greatly afflicted; under many and sore persecutions, as you may see, Chap. 10.32, 33, 34. And therefore it is that upon which the Apostle (after he presented them with a large catalogue and list of the primitive Martyrs before Christ, in the eleventh Chapter) bestows the twelve first verses of the twelfth Chapter, sc. to prove by reasons drawn from nature, &c. instances taken out of Scripture; |
