The Lord departs from particular men and women, as well as from Kingdoms and Nations, and woe to them also: when God departs from a particular man or woman he doth withdraw his common gifts and graces, and comforts that they were wont to have, he doth curse all means for good unto them, and he gives them up unto temptations; those are the three special things that God doth in departing from any particular soul, he withdraws the common gifts and graces that they had, and the comforts that follows, and curses the means that may do them good, and gives them up to the strength and power of temptation.
