¹If the Lord keeps you poor and low, yet the same motive that made thee come, let it ⟨p. 211⟩make thee stay; it may be the Lord sees thou wouldst grow full and lifted up if he should give thee a little, & therefore keeps thee low; better be humble,² then full and proud. Let us go unto the Lord, because he hath wounded, broken, and slain us. But they might object, we do come, but find no help, no cure. It may be so; yet it is said, After two days he will revive us, and the third day we shall live in his sight, and we shall know him, if we follow on to know him, verse 6. His goings forth are prepared as the morning, it may be night for a time, but the Sun of righteousness will arise gradually and gloriously upon thy soul.
