Reas. 4 4. Because in this day Mercy leaves such a people, and will never own them to to them any good. Ezek. 7.5. An evil, an only evil, behold, it is come. But that place is most remarkable for this, Ezek. 22.20. I will bring you into the furnace, and there I will leave you. God brings His people into great troubles sometimes, but never leaves them there. But there are some whom Mercy leaves and forsakes in their troubles, and this is a most sad condition, for by this God shows that He will have no more honour by them in their servings of Him, but in their sufferings. God saith thus, Seeing they would not give Me My glory in a way of duty, I will extract and force it from them in a way of suffering.

Reas. 5 5. Because the Lord then intends hurt to such a people, the Lord perhaps brings you out of an affliction, but in that deliverance He intends your hurt and no good at all, Jer. 24.9. I intend nothing but hurt to such a people in all My dealings.
