Obs. 3 Gods people account their life to be in Gods favour, not so much in what they receive from God, as what they are in Gods favour and presence. Hypocrites desires are only for the enjoyment of mercies, & if they obtain their desires they are contented, though they have no presence of God at all in them: but the Saints if they have precious mercies and no presence of God with them it contents not them; if they have health and not Gods presence in it, if they have peace and not their peace with God it satisfies not them; this is their cry, Lord, let us hear thy voice, let me see thy face;1 for thy voice is pleasant, and thy countenance comely.
