My Satisfaction. From Heb. XII 5, 6, 11

Listen in the reader

THe Exhortation of the Lord, With Consolation speaks to us; As unto His Children, His Good Word, We must Remember Speaking Thus,

My Child, When God shall Chasten Thee, His Chastning do thou not contemn: When thou His just Rebukes dost see, Faint not, Rebuked under them.

The Lord with Fit Afflictions will Correct the Children of His Love; He doth Himself their Father still, By His most wise Corrections prove.

Afflictions for the present here The vexed Flesh will Grievous call; But Afterward there will appear, Not Grief, but Peace, the End of all.
