To visit, is properly to go to, and see any person whom we respect and love; thus we visit friends in civility and courtesy. Secondly, To visit is an act of pity and mercy; and thus we visit the sick, the widow, and the fatherless (James 1.27.) Pure Religion, and undefiled before God, and the Father, is to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction; that is, to go to them in pity, either for the supply of their wants by our purse, or for the comforting of their hearts by our counsel. Thirdly, We visit in care, as well as in kindness, that is, when we go to our Families or Flocks, or places of charge, wheresoever they are, and see that, or whether, all things are well and right with them, or well, and rightly done towards them, according to the rules that such persons under our charge ought to act, and live by: Thus in Colleges and Hospitals, there is a visitation of care, to make enquiry of persons in trust, about persons and things under their trust.

To the Point in hand; there is a twofold visitation of God.
