Everything That Befalls us, Good or Bad is from God's Hand

When things do not go according to our hope and wish, by this consideration we will be restrained to curb our impatience and loathing of our state. For we will recognize that this will be to murmur against God, by whose will, poverty and wealth, contempt and honours are dispensed. To sum up:
Whoever rests upon God's blessing (as it  has been said) will not aspire by evil, devious ways to towards things that men with crazed greed seek after, for he will realize this way will profit him nothing. And if any prosperity befalls him, neither to his diligence, his industry, nor to his fortune will he impute it, but will recognize it to be from God. On the other hand, if he scarcely advances, even goes backward, will he not bear his poverty more patiently and modestly than a patient man bears middling wealth that is not as great as he had hoped. For he will have a solace far better wherein to repose than all the riches and honours of this world  heaped in one great pile: His solace is that he will deem all things ordained of God, as is expedient for his salvation.
