Samuel RutherfordHowbeit your faith seeth but the black side of providence, yet it hath a better side, and God shall let you see it. ... โFor we know that all things work together for good to them that love God,โ ergo, shipwreck, losses, &c., work together for the good of them that love God: hence I infer, that losses, disappointments, ill tongues, loss of friends, houses, or country, are God's workmen, set on work to work out good to you, out of everything that befalleth you.
Samuel Rutherford
