Oh saith the son, I would my father would but look out at the window that I might see him; but when he will not suffer his son to look upon him, this is heavy: so the Lord saith to his servants, no no, you have slighted my kindness, therefore I will lock it up, that you shall see him no more: In the second Book of Samuel, the fourteenth chapter, the twenty eighth verse; When Absalom had dwelt two years in Jerusalem, and saw not the Kings face, at length he sends for Joab to send him to the King, and said, either let me see the Kings face, or else wherefore do I live? It was a great favour that he might but see the Kings face; though he might not enjoy fellowship with him: this is a great trouble, when the Lord shuts up his mercy in anger: mercy hath come home to your hearts, and it hath besought you to take it; but you have dealt basely with the Lord, and walked ⟨p. 274⟩rebelliously against him, well the Lord will shut you out of his presence, and will shut up his mercy, and then you shall say that you had mercy offered to you once, and you would not accept it.
Oh saith the sonne, I would my father would but looke out at the window that I might see him; but when hee will not suffer his sonne to looke upon him, this is heavie: so the Lord saith to his servants, no no, you have slighted my kindnesse, therefore I will locke it up, that you shall see him no more: In the second Booke of Samuel, the fourteenth chapter, the twentie eighth verse; When Absolom had dwelt two yeares in Ierusalem, and saw not the Kings face, at length hee sends for Ioab to send him to the King, and said, either let me see the Kings face, or else wherefore doe I live? It was a great favour that hee might but see the Kings face; though hee might not injoy fellowship with him: this is a great trouble, when the Lord shuts up his mercy in anger: mercy hath come home to your hearts, and it hath besought you to take it; but you have dealt basely with the Lord, and walked ⟨p. 274⟩rebelliously against him, well the Lord will shut you out of his presence, and will shut up his mercy, and then you shall say that you had mercy offered to you once, and you would not accept it.
