Now if you look you shall find examples of this. When had Abraham the father of the faithful, those frequent apparitions and revelations from God? was it not after he had left his country? When he was in his own land, among his possessions there was nothing but silence, but after he was abroad the Lord appeared to him from time to time. And so in one place after this. As long as Lot was with him to comfort him, there is no mention that the Lord revealed himself to him: but that is the particular expression, Gen. 18. 6. Then saith he after Lot was departed 1from him the Lord came to Abraham and fell a talking with him, and renewed that great promise, that in him all the Nations of the world should be blessed. So Jacob in his journey, when a man would have thought he had had the hardest nights lodging, that ever he had since he was man upon the earth, when he had nothing but heaven for his Canopy and a hard stone for his pillow, he had the most glorious, and blessed vision of the ladder, that had the top of it in heaven, and the foot on earth.
