It is in this case with Gods children, as it is with a child in the mothers Arms; if the father violently lays hold upon his servant and beats him, and thrust, him out of doors for his demerits, there is such a terrible reflection from the fathers anger against the servant upon the child, that the poor child falls a crying. So it is with the children of God, when they see God in a terrible way, •aying hold upon wicked men, to execute wrath upon them, they cry out, they are afraid lest some evil should befall them too. Oh no, be of good comfort, The Lord is good, and a strong hold in the day of trouble, and knoweth them that trust in him, when his anger is never so great and general. So it is here; though this Israel be not my people, yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the Sea for all that, so you shall find it in the 15. ver. of that first of Nahum, Behold (saith the Text) upon the mountains, the feet of him that bringeth good tidings. What at this time though Gods way be in the whirl-wind and so terrible, yet now behold the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace. God abroad publisheth war, yet he hath a messenger to publish life and peace to some.
