Reas. 4 Fourthly, When God saith, Let them alone, he intends this as the making of way unto some fearful wrath that is to follow after. Let my mercy and goodness let them alone but it is that they may fall into my wrath, and that will not let them alone, that will trouble them, howsoever they cannot endue to be troubled by my Word, by m• Messengers, by my Spirit, but my Wrath shall trouble them afterward, that shall not let them alone; as in that place Ezek. 24.13. before quoted, Thou shalt not be pur••• from thy filthiness any more till I have caused my fury •o rest upon thee; they shall not have any means to trouble them for a while, but at length my fury shall rest upon them. When the Lord shall seem to be quiet toward men and let them alone; it is but to make way for fearful wrath that is coming after.
