Before I come to the Application, here's a Question arises,—
Why does God make Light to arise to his People, in an hour of Darkness?
I answer: for three Reasons,—
1. That God may hereby fulfil his Promise: He 1has said it, that he will enlighten his People In ⟨p. 16⟩Isa. 42. 16. I will make Darkness Light before them. God's Honour lies upon it, to make good his Promise, and to cause Light to arise to his People in Obscurity. The Lord's Promise, it is his Bond. When one has given Bond to another, he cannot go back. Though sometimes God's Promise may be long in Travail, yet at last it brings forth Deliverance.
