That's the Note from it, God will not cast off his children 1though they get hurt; yea, though they get hurt by their own sin, yet the Lord is so gracious as to heal them. You ⟨p. 38⟩have a notable Scripture for this, in Isa. 57. 17, 18. For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wrath, and smote him: 2I hid me and was wrath, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart. He went on frowardly when I smote him; what then? in the 18. verse, I have seen his ways. One would have thought that should have followed, I have seen his ways, and I'll smite him, and plague him, and make him to know what it is to deal so frowardly and perversely with me, but, behold the goodness of the Lord! Gods ways are not the ways of men, his thoughts are not our thoughts, for he saith, I have seen his ways, and will heal him, and restore comforts to him; I will not say, I will never lead him more, because he would not regard my teaching but goes his own ways and gets many bruises; No, I have seen his ways and will heal him, and lead him notwithstanding.
