As the Roman Consuls had a man appointed to go before them, carrying a Rod, and an Axe; a Rod for the punishing of corrigible offenders, an Axe for the destruction of incorrigible; So God hath his Rod, and his Axe, his Pruning knife, and his Chopping-knife, his Warning-peeces, and his Murdering-peeces. Afflictions are his Rods to correct us for our sin, his Pruning-knife to pare off our luxuriant branches; |
