John Trapp on John 9:3

Verſe 3. But that the works of God &c.] Hinc Alexander Ales, Paena, inquit, duplicem habet ordinationem, Ʋnam ad culpam, quae praecedit; alteram ad gloriam, quam praecedit. God ſometimes afflicts for his own glory, but ſinne is never at the bottome. And though God doth not alwayes afflict his for ſinne, as Job: Job. 11.6. yet Job ſhall do well to conſider, that God exacteth of him leſſe then his iniquity deſerveth, as Zophar telleth him.
