This one thing In the other things which you have spoken of, God's greatness, power, and justice, I do not contend with you; but this one thing I do, and must affirm against you. Therefore I said it I did not utter it rashly, but upon deep consideration. He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked God sends afflictions promiscuously upon good and bad men. If the scourge slay suddenly If some common judgment come upon a people, which destroys both good and bad: or if God inflict some grievous and unexpected stroke upon a holy person. He will laugh at the trial of the innocent God will be pleased to see how the same, or a similar scourge, which is the perdition of the wicked, is only the trial of the integrity, faith, and patience of the innocent, that is, of his own people, and a means of their further purification and improvement.
