I say not when the Ark of God is lost: but I say when it is in danger of losing: when the Gospel is in danger, the Ministers of the Gospel in danger, and the Ordinances in danger to be lost; then the people of God have trembling hearts, and careful heads. When God threatened the Israelites, that he would not go with them they were troubled for the loss of Gods presence, and would not put on their ornaments, Exod. 33. 3, 4. I will not go in the midst of thee, for thou art a stiffneck•d people, lest I consume thee in the way: And when the people heard these evil tidings they mourned and no man did put on his ornaments: 1 Sam. 7. 2. And it came to pass, while the Ark abode in Kiriath-jearim, that the time was long, for it was twenty years, and all the house of Israel lamented after the Lord: that is, after the presence of God, speaking from the Ark. 2 Sam. 11. 10, 11. David would have had Uriah to have gone down to his house and made merry: And Uriah said unto David, the Ark, and Israel, and Judah abide in Tents, and my Lord Joab, and the Servants of my Lord are encamped in open fields: shall I then go into mine house to eat and to drink, and to lie with my Wife? As thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing. 1 King. 19. 10. And Elijah said I have been very zealous for the Lord God of Hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy Covenant, thrown down thine Altars, and slain thy Prophets with the sword, and I, even I only am left, and they seek my life to take it away. Thus you see when the Ark is in danger, the people of God mourn and are sorrowful.
