And therefore in the second place take notice, what way ⟨p. 227⟩God takes to break him, and how much displeasure of God fell upon him.
1First, He hath great terror and trouble upon him, which he expresseth by the most exquisite torment that is, viz. Broken bones. It was with him, as if all his bones were brayed and pounced together. Thus fearful is it to fall into the hands of the living God, who even to his own people is a consuming fire. As the Sun which useth to dart forth resplendent beams of lustre, by gross and thick clouds is darkened and obscured; so David who heretofore rejoiced in God, took comfort in his Promises, doth now like Dives beg for one drop of comfort, and finds a great Gulf between that and him, insomuch that it cannot come to him, nor he to it. Now what are all Davids pleasures, all his lustful delights to these wounds of his soul? Hath he not bought Repentance at a dear rate? Let the godly hear this and tremble, and do no such thing.
