Propriety and Relation engages Care and Solicitude in times of Danger; we see God hath put such a Storge, and inclination into the very creatures, that they will expose themselves to preserve their young; and it cannot be imagined that the fountain of Pity which dropped this tenderness into the bowels of the creatures, should not abound with it himself; is there such strong inclination in the very birds of the air, that they will hazard their own lives to save their young▪ • much more is God solicitous for his people. Isa. 31. ⟨p. 156⟩5. As birds flying, &c. to their nests when their young are in danger: So will the Lord of Hosts defend Jerusalem. No mother is more solicitous for her dearest Child in danger and distress, than the Lord is for his people. Isa. 49. 15. Can a Woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. A woman [the more affectionate Sex forget her child] a piece of her self, her sucking child, which together with milk from the breast draws love from the heart. This may rather be supposed, than that the Lord should forget his people.
