Fourthly, let us make these mercies Looking-glasses to see God ¹in, and not walls to separate between us and God: God never appeared more in his wisdom, power, goodness, and mercy then in these days: And not to see God in good works of his ⟨p. 15⟩providence, is a curse, and will bring a curse: That it is a curse appears Jeremiah, 17. 5, 6. Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his Arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord; for he shall be like a heath in the desert, and shall not see when good mes: And that it brings a curse appears Psal. 28. 5. Because they regard not the works of the Lord, nor the operation of his hands; he shall destroy them and not build them up.
