On I Peter 4:14 --
"See that wicked persecuters make Gods Servants happy, yes, more happy then they should be, so that in seeking their hurt, they do them good in many ways; They purge and try them, make them the more dear to God, and set the greater Crown upon their heads; what a privilege have the Servants of God, that all things, even their persecution should work together for their good; Its not so with others, yet are not we to thank the wicked for this, who intend no such thing: The Caldeans and Sabeans were an occasion that Job had twice as much goods given him as he had before, but no thank to them, for they took from him what they could; Its God who blesseth the more those whom the wicked curse."
-- John Rogers, 588.
