3. In times of calamity and trouble, yet still is it well with the Righteous, because many times God hears his people in the time of trouble; in a storm God will have a care of his Jewels, he will hide them, and suffer them not to be carried away; and thus he makes good that Scripture literally, Psal. 91. 4. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust, no evil shall touch thee. God oftentimes verifies this Scripture literally, he makes his Angels to be his Peoples Lifeguard to hide them and to defend them. When a Flood was coming on the World, God provided an Ark to hide Noah in; When Israel was carried and transported into Babylon, God hides Jeremy, and gives him his life for a prey, I•r. 39. 11, 12.

And in this sense the Saints of God are called his hidden Ones. Psal. 83. 3. Why so? not only because they are hid in Gods decree, and hid in Christs wounds, but oftentimes God hides them in time of common danger and calamity; they are hidden Ones; Thus God reserved to himself seven thousand that had not bowed the Knee to Baal; the Prophet knew not of any, but God knew of seven thousand that he had hid; and in this sense it is well with the Righteous in time of public misery.
