But how may one support Ob. himself in the interims of this suspension of divine favour? 1Can one be good, who is thus? Or will God do good or doth he think any good of such a one?
But how may one support Ob. himselfe in the interims of this suspension of divine favour? 1Can one be good, who is thus? Or will God doe good or doth hee thinke any good of such a one?
- 1How to support our selves in the interim.
I answer, you may support Sol. your selves thus:
1. By remembering the days of old. Psa. 77. 7. Will the Lord cast off for ever, and will he be favourable no more? 9. Hath God forgotten to be gracious? This is mine infirmity. q. d. For me thus to conclude that God ⟨p. 303⟩will not be favourable and gracious unto me, because I feel him not so, this is my weakness, and sinful error: But how then will you support your self? See ver. 10. I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High, 11. I will 1remember thy wonders of old. And assuredly the remembrance of what God hath done, is able to support us with a confident expectation of what God will yet do for us.
