3. These desertions are but for a time. Christ may go into the withdrawing •oom, and leave the soul a while, but he will come again. Isa. 54.8. In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment, but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee. When it is dead low water, the Tide will come in again. Isa. 57.6. I will not be always wroth, for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made. The tender Mother sets down her child in anger, but she will take it up again into her arms, and kiss it. God may put away the soul in ange•, but he will take it up again into his dear embraces, and display the banner of love over it.
