the heaviest stroke of God's hand did not so much disquiet David as the Eclipse of God's countenance: Outward troubles they were to David but as the scratch with a Pin in the flesh; but the withdrawings of Gods face did trouble him as a Sword in his bones; this is a seventh Difference between the one and the other.

The eighth Difference is this, Wicked men under disquiet for sin, they do more complain of God then they do complain to God; but Good men more complain to God then ⟨p. 175⟩of God, when they are disquieted for sin; wicked men more complain of God than to God. It is the usual behaviour of the wicked to complain wretchedly against God, but not humbly to God, when they are in horror of conscience under the disquiet of sin, Revel. 16. 9. And men were scorched with great beat, and blasphemed the Name of God. It is said of the followers of Antichrist, they were scorched with heat, and blasphemed the Name of God. When God doth let the fire of his wrath scorch the consciences of men with rage against the Church, this doth but make them Blaspheme God; As thus in Isa. 8. 21.
