But now what are the Reasons why God will not leave his people that thus desire to please him?
Why, 1. God loves them, therefore he will not leave them; persons we love, we cannot leave: especially when they are in a distressed condition; and as God hath set his love upon them, so they have set their love upon God, they love God. Psal. 91. 15. you h•ve there an expression, Because he hath set his love upon m•, therefore I will deliver him: he shall call upon me, and I will answer him, I will be with him in trouble. God is • God of bowels, of great pity and compassion, and therefore he will not leave his people in a time of distress: you know bowels how they stand in you towards them that are in misery; it goes to the heart of a merciful man, to leave a person in misery: Oh how great are the bowels and compassions of God Is Ephraim my son, is he a pleasant child? Oh, my bowels are turned within me, I will have mercy on him.
