Affliction no Argument Against Sonship
Luke 4:3
And the devil said to him, If you be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.


If any man should be used like a dog, or a bear, yet as long as he sees human shape and discerns the use of human reason in himself, he would still, for all this usage, think himself to be a man. So though the children of God be used here in this world as if they were wicked, yet as long as they feel the work of grace, and the power of God's Spirit, they must still hold themselves to be God's children.

(D. Dyke.)
