When God doth either hide or defer the Judgement of a godly man, it doth very much affect, yea and afflict his heart.
We are usually much afflicted with any dark dispensation upon many accounts, especially upon this, because it makes us obnoxious to every mans censure. When God takes away our judgement, we fall under the hard judgements of men; And to lie under the ill opinions of men unvindicated or unrighted, is no easy burden. We have that promise (Psal: 37.6.) He shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgement as the noon-day. The righteousness and judgement of a good man may be in a mid-night darkness as to man, and till that be brought to the light of other mens knowledge, himself hath, sometimes, little light of comfort.
