13. The chastening hand and instructive book are sanctified to us, so that
we learn to rest in the Lord. We see that his end is our everlasting benefit,
and therefore abide quiet under all trying providences and bitter persecutions,
waiting our time. The Mighty Hunter is preparing the pit for the brutish ones;
they are prowling about at this time, and tearing the sheep, but they will soon
be captured and destroyed; therefore the people of the Lord learn to rest in
days of adversity, and tarry the leisure of their God.
