Reas. 2. Gods displeasure with his Servants is but short; and therefore his corrections are but short, Psal. 30.5. His anger endureth but for a moment, but in his favour is life, Isa. 54.7, 8. For a small moment have I forsaken thee, but with great mercies will I gather thee. In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment, but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer, Isa. 26.20. Come my People, enter into thy Chambers, and shut thy doors about thee, hide thy self as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. Thus even in Judgment doth he remember mercy, and consumeth us not, because his compassions fail not, Lam. 3. He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger for ever, — For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust, Psal. 103.9.14. His short corrections are purposely fitted to prepare us for endless consolations.
