He hath no sensibly-spiritual Enjoyment of him; The children of light often walk in darkness; They who fear the Lord much, may be without the feelings of his love, and they who obey his holy commandments without the comfort of his precious promises. Even Christ himself was at such a loss for God, when he cried out, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me (Psal. 22.1.)

If this were done to the Greene tree, much more to the dry, and if our head found an interruption of the presence of God, much more may we, who are his members.
