Ver. 3. The trial of your faith] Yea, such a well knit patience, as maketh a man suffer after he hath suffered, as David did from Shimei, but first from Absalom. Tile stones till baked are not useful; but well burnt and hardened they withstand all storms and ill-weather. See my Love Tokens, p. 170.

Knowing this] And therefore rejoicing, if not in the sense, yet in the use of your afflictions. See Trapp on " Heb 12:10 " See Trapp on " Heb 12:11 "
