3. When it is executed by a remarkable han• upon the sinner, then that judgement breaks forth upon a man as the light.
Gods judgments are gradual. They break forth as the light, Obs. 5 not all at once, there is the morning light, and the mid-day; as mercies to the Saints are gradual, so judgments upon the wicked are but by degrees, dropping at the first.
There is much to be learned by the breakings out of judgment as the Obs. 6 light. Isa. 26.8. When thy Judgments are abroad, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. Mic. 6.9. The man of wisdom shall see thy Name: Hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it. Pro. 28.5. Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the Lord, understand all things: they shall learn much. Examine ⟨p. 598⟩your hearts by this, what you have learned by these judgements that are broken out so clear upon us, that the greatest Atheist in the world may learn this, That the Lord He is God, as the people cried out in 1 King. 18.39.
There is much to be learned by the breakings out of judgment as the Obs. 6 light.
