Thomas Brooks. As the word hath a voice, the Spirit a voice, and conscience a voice, so the rod hath a voice. Afflictions are the rod of God^s anger, the rod of his displeasure, and his rod of revenge : he gives a commission to this rod to awaken, to reform his people, or else to revenge the quarrel of his covenant upon them, if they will not hear, and kiss the rod, and sit mute and silent un- der it. " The Lord^s voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name ; hear ye th...e rod, and who hath appointed it.'' (Mic. iv. 9.) God's rods are not mutes; they are speaking as well as smiting; every twig hath a voice. Ah, soul, saith one twig, thou sayest it smarts ; well, tell me, is it good provoking a jealous God ? (Jer. iv. 18.) Ah, soul, saith another twig, thou sayest it is bitter, it reacheth to thy heart ; but hath not thine own doings pro- cured these things? (Rom. iv. 21.) Ah, soul, saith another twig, where is the profit, the pleasure, that you have found in wandering from God?
