Obs. 2 1When God leaves his people, he leaves something behind him, which causeth the heart to make after him; The soul hath her eyes upon God, looking after Him.
- 1God leaves in his people at his parting impressions to seek him.
Therefore much are they to be reproved, who are so full of their sad conclusions, and desperate speeches, from such as these the Lord is gone, and he will never return again, I am undone and lost for ever, there is no hope, to Hell I must go: but a gracious heart in the darkest night of sorrow and trouble can see some glimpse of light and comfort, saying as that good man, Ezra. 9.2. Yet there is hope in Israel concerning this thing, and as the Church in Isa. 42.24. Who gave Jacob for a spoil and Israel to the robbers? did not the Lord? he against whom we have sinned? What then? yet O Israel fear not.
