And as for the Hiding of Gods face: The people of God are the most sensible of that too. For ye know what David said,1 As a sword in my bones, while they said unto me, where is now thy God? The Lord had hid his face from him: Oh! (says he) This is a sword in my bones, while men say unto ⟨p. 7⟩me, Where is now thy God? And so our Lord and Saviour Christ, when he was upon the cross, he cries out,2 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? He does not cry out unto his Apostles, and Disciples, why have you forsaken me? They all left him, and yet he did not say, Oh! Thomas, Oh! Peter, Oh! Matthew, Oh! all my Disciples, and Apostles, why have you forsaken me? And the Sun had withdrawn his light; and he does not say, why hast thou forsaken me? He felt many pains, being pierced through, nailed unto the Cross; and yet He does not cry out and say, Oh! what pains, and tortures do I feel? But, as sensible of this more than of all His outward torment, He cries out, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? And as 'tis with the Head, so 'tis with the Members.
