1And seek my face,] that is, my Favour, my Son, and my Ordinances, ⟨p. 517⟩for in the general, Gods face is nothing else, but Gods manifestation of himself, in his Love in his Son, in his Ordinances: and 'tis a most blessed thing thus to behold Gods face, Revel. 22.4. this is that which David so earnestly prayed for, Lord lift up the light if thy countenance upon me: one sight of God is better than all the world. To see God any way is sweet, but to see him in Christ this is most excellent: In the world we have nothing of God but his very footsteps, but in Christ there is the chief manifestation of the wisdom, mercy, and love of God to poor lost man; and in the Ordinances there God chiefly lets out himself in an especial manner, These are the Three things which show unto us the meaning of those words. [And seek my face.] The Notes from them are these.
