Richard Sibbes in Divine Meditations
Whatsoever is good for God’s children, they shall have it; for all is theirs to help them towards heaven; therefore if poverty be good, they shall have it; if disgrace, if erodes be good, they shall have them; for all is ours, to promote our greatest prosperity.
Though God deliver not out of trouble, yet he delivers from the ill in trouble, from despair in trouble, by supporting the spirit. Nay, he delivers by trouble, for he satisfies the trouble to cure the soul, and by less troubles he delivers from greater.
