The application of redemption

While the prophet was taking up his thoughts with attendance to his own distempers and sinful provocations, and the Lords departure from him by reason of the same, he sits down almost overwhelmed with the direful apprehension thereof, I said this is my death, but I will remember the changes of the right hand of the most high, this poring upon his own sins and […] was his death, therefore he turns the tables and turns his thoughts another way and that was the cure of those discomforts, even the remembrance of the former, the former expressions of Gods favour and faithfulness its also one part of the meaning of that text, Psal. 40. 12. My sins have taken such hold of me that I cannot look up, when we lay hold upon them by serious meditation then they lay hold upon us, and when our minds attend not but slip aside from the serious consideration of them then they slip away from us.
