Inference 4.
Did God forsake his own Son upon the Cross;1 then the dearest of Gods people may for a time be forsaken of their God: Think it not strange when you that are the children of light, meet with darkness, yea and walk it •. Neither charge God foolishly. Say not he deals hardly with you. You see what befell Jesus Christ, whom his soul delighted in. It's doubtless your concernment to expect, and prepare for days of darkness. You have heard the doleful cry of Christ, my God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? You know how it was with Job, David, H•man, Asaph, and many others the dear servants of God. What heart-melting lamentations they have made upon this account. And are you better than they? Oh prepare for spiritual troubles. I am sure you do enough every day to involve you in darkness. Now if at any time this trial befall you, mind these two seasonable Admonitions, and lay them up for such a time.
