They touch him in his Religion. They saw him persecuted by Saul, scorned by Sauls courtiers; they see him driven up and down, as a Partridge in the Wilderness: they saw him banished from the Sanctuary, destitute of friends; they saw him in this disconsolate estate, and they judge by sense and appearance, that they thought he was a man that God regarded not at all, therefore say they, where is thy God?

Gods children are impatient as far as they ⟨p. 218⟩are men, of reproaches, but so far as they are Christian men, they are impatient of reproaches in Religion, where is now thy God? They were not such desperate Atheists as to think there was no God, to call in question whether there were a God or no, (though indeed they were little better:) but they rather reproach, and upbraid him with his singularity; where is thy God? You are one of Gods darlings, you are one that thought no body served God but you, you are one that will go alone, your God.
