The presence of God meant here, is that presence that he shows in the time of need, 1and in his ordinances. He shows a presence in need and necessity, that is a gracious presence to his children, a gracious face. As in want of direction, he shows his presence of light to direct them: In weakness he shows his strength: In trouble and perplexity he will show his gracious, and comfortable presence to comfort them. In perplexity he shows […] presence to set the heart at large: answerable to the necessity there is a presence: So in need God is present with his children, to dire• them, to comfort them, to strengthen them, if they need that.
