God sometimes clouds his face from his owne servants, and children.
These words, When he hideth his face, suppose that God sometimes doth so, and the Scripture else-where testifies that God hath often done so; God hath love always in his heart towards his children, but he hath not always favour in his face towards them; his appearances are not always the appearances of a friend, he may appear angry, and turn away his face as if he would not be spoken with. Of this we find frequent complaints in Scripture; and I might speak much to this point, but I have already met with it (Chap: 13.24.) and therefore I pass from it.
