Now that he is always thus present with his1 children, appeareth in the Revelation. Where Christ is said to walk in the midst of the seven golden Candlesticks: that is, of the seven Churches: so that it is his ordinary walk to go in and out amongst his servants. Neither hath he a general care of the whole Church only, but he hath an eye also unto every particular member; as will appear in several examples. When Jacob was all alone, travelling towards Padan Aram, there being no town near, and the night drawing on, he was fain to take up his lodging in the open field: but that night the Lord showed himself present with Jacob, and he saw that he had acquaintance even in that solitary place; for God took notice of him, and renewed with him his covenant made unto Abraham and Isaac, and made him a promise2 to be [with him] whither soever he went, &c. So that that night was one of the comfortablest nights that ever Jacob had.
