1There is a two-fold turning back; First, Corporal; Secondly, Moral or spiritual, none can corporally turn back from God, though some attempt it; to what hiding place soever we turn our selves, we cannot be hid from him who filleth every place? But there are many who morally turn back and depart from the living God. Sinners would turn their persons back from God, and hide their heads, they would get quite out of his sight and reach, though they cannot; but all of them turn back from God in their hearts.

In two respects sinners in general, may be said to turn back from God; First, when he commands and they will not obey him, or withdraw their obedience from his commandments; Secondly, when he entreats and invites them, and they will not come to him, nor accept his tendered respects and favours. Thus the Lord complained of his own people (Psal: 81.11.) Israel would none of me; God wooed them, but they had other lovers, and after them they would go; even Israel lightly regarded the God of Israel, yea they made a defection from him. More distinctly.
