Till they acknowledge their sin] Note, That when God comes Obs. 2 to his people, as in his judgment, so in his ways of mercy he leaves his place and majesty, He humbles Himself to behold what is done upon the earth; 'tis a kind of self-denial in God to meddle with man at all: As 'tis a mighty condescension in a Prince to come from his throne to visit and comfort poor men in dungeons and prisons:1 Surely such prisoners need honour ⟨p. 514⟩such a Prince, for he comes from his throne to visit them: how much more then had we need to honour God for his love towards us?
