Doctr. Mans extremity, is Gods opportunity.
kIt is the observation of Zuinglius upon this place: God is never more present, than when all humane help seems to be absent. Thou art a present help in trouble, says the Psalmist.

lWhen trouble is at the highest, then is salvation the nearest. The depths of mans misery, calls in for the depths of Gods mercy: when the burdens of Israel were increased, when they cried under their anguish, then did God send moses to deliver them. I have seen the afflictions of my ⟨p. 143⟩people, and have heard their cry by reason of their task-masters, for I know their sorrows: as if he had said, I know they will not cry for nothing; I have heard, and I know, and then it follows, I am come down to deliver them out of their hands. It is that which was promised in Deut. 32.35, 66. To me belongeth vengeance and recompense, the foot of your enemy shall slide in due time. For the day of their calamity is at hand, &c. For the Lord shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up and left.
