In "A Treatise on Afflictions," Thomas Case generously applies a
soothing salve to the wounds of God's suffering saints. He begins
by compassionately illustrating twenty lessons God teaches his
children in affliction. He then proceeds to show the advantages
wrought by affliction in the lives of languishing believers. He
shows why deliverance from suffering should not necessarily be the
believer's primary goal when dark days come, and explains why
suffering may sometimes seem to last longer than it should. The
author shows from Scripture how affliction and instruction go
hand-in-hand in the life of the child of God. This work rings true
to the suffering reader because it was written while the author was
imprisoned in the Tower of London alongside Thomas Watson,
Christopher Love (who was beheaded), and others. Originally titled
"Correction, Instruction" or "The Rod and the Word," this classic
treatise has been carefully prepared for the benefit of a new
generation of Christian readers. It includes a biographical preface
by James Reid.
In The Case and Cure of a Deserted Soul, Puritan Joseph Symonds
(d.1652) explores the nature, causes, and treatment of spiritual
depression-a state that arises when God seems to hide his face,
leaving the Christian to walk alone in a "dark night of the soul."
Every aspect of this condition is examined with a surgeon's
precision, a philosopher's insight, and the Word of God's wisdom on
how to gain a firmer footing and emerge from this melancholy hour
with renewed strength and vivacity.
