33. The Lord will not leavehim in his hand. God often appears to deliver his servants,
and when he does not do so in this life as to their bodies, he gives their
souls such joy and peace that they triumphantly rise beyond their tormentors’
power. Nor condemns him when he is judged. Time will reverse the verdict
of haste, or else eternity will clear away the condemnation of time. Just men
will be justified. Temporary injustices are tolerated, in the order of
Providence, for purposes most wise; but the bitter will not always be called
sweet, nor light forever be traduced as darkness. If we have done faithfully,
we may appeal from the petty sessions of society to the solemn assize of the
great day.
