Hebrews12:10
Verſe 10. After their own pleaſure] To eaſe their ſtomacks, vent their choller, diſcharge themſelves of that diſpleaſure they have (and perhaps without cauſe) conceived againſt us. Not ſo the Lord: Fury is not in me, ſaith he, Iſa. 27.4. Though God may do with his own as he pleaſeth, yet he doth never over-do. For it goes as much againſt the heart with him, as againſt the hair with us: It is even a pain to him to be puniſhing, Lam. 3.33.
That we might be partakers] thus bitter pils bring ſweet health, and ſharp winter kils worms and weeds, and mellows the earth for better bearing of fruits and flowers. The Lilly is ſowed in its own tears, and Gods vines bear the better for bleeding. The Walnut tree is moſt fruitfull when moſt beaten, and Camomile the more you tread it, the more you ſpread it. Aloes kils worms, and ſtained clothes are whitened by froſting.
