1There is a two-fold sight of affliction; First, By a bare intuition, discerning it. Secondly, By a gracious compassion, delivering us from it. The former sight God always hath of all our afflictions, neither our sins, nor our sorrows can be hidden from him. The later he sometimes suspends, and will not see, what he cannot but see. He will not see so as to relieve, what he cannot but see so as to observe. It is this second kind of sight, which ⟨p. 549⟩Job entreats and prays for here, See thou my affliction, that is, pity me in my affliction.
