You see this in the 3. Exod. 7, 8. I have surely seen the affliction of my people in Egypt, by reason of their Task-Masters, for I know their sorrows. And thereupon it follows: And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians. When God once sees, he presently helps. As he is said to come down to see sin, before he punish it; as of Sodom: and when he comes down to see, he doth assuredly come out to punish. So he is said to come down, to see the troubles of his people, before he do deliver them; and if once he come to see, he will assuredly come to help.
