Hebrews12:7
7 I[illegible: 1 letter] ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons: for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
His reason he illustrateth from the convertibility of suffering Affliction and Chastening from God the Father, and being his Child; If ye have a Child-like sense of Chastening, such Afflictions and Sufferings from him, as the Father ordereth to you; so as quietly and patienly to bear them, and by Faith expecting a saving issue from them; God the Father in Love Chastening you, beareth, carrieth and offereth himself to you as a Father to his Son full of Grace and Love, Levit. 26.41.. Iob. 13.15. Psal. 89.30. Micah 7.9.
No Son or Child of God can be instanced in, who was capable of Chastening, but more or less hath felt it, even God's only and best beloved one, chap. 5.8. for our sakes felt it, Isa. 53.5. The Interrogation is a vehement assertion, and so to be resolved.
