In the Creation there was an Omnia bene; God reviewed all his works, and they were exceeding good. In our Redemption there was an Omnia bene; He hath done all things well, he hath made the Blind to see, and the Lame to go; a just confession & applause. Here was an Omnia bene indeed, but there never was an Omnia bene since.

Let there be therefore a Visitation with the Rod, lest God come to visit with f•re. God hath a fourfold Visitation. 1. A Visitation of Grace and Mercy:1 Visitavit & redemit, He hath visited and redeemed his people. He came not only to see us, but to save us: not only to live among us, but ⟨p. 51⟩to die for us. So Paul applies that of the Psalm, What is •an that thou art mindful of him, 2and the Son of man that thou visitest him? The time wherein Jerusalem heard the oracles, and saw the miracles of our blessed Saviour, is called The day of her visitation. 2. A visitation of pit•e and compassion so when God relieved S•ra's barrenness,3 he is said to visit her. Thus he did visit Job in his sickness, Thy visitation hath preserved my Spirit. This duty he commends to us for true religion indeed.4
