First, He hides his favour and the light of his Countenance from his people. And (when this is hid God is hid) he will not let them see the love which he hath in his heart towards them, ⟨p. 369⟩yea (possibly) he lets them see anger, wrath, displeasure; he puts on the habit of an enemy, and deals with them as with enemies. Job complains more then once that God hid his favour from him, and showed him nothing but his dread and terror.

Secondly, God hides his works from his people, he will not let them be seen, nor be seen in them; O how unsearchable are thy Judgements, and thy ways past finding out! God hath ways and Judgements which man cannot reach unto. Some of his works are acted (as we say) above board, they are done in a clear light, he that runs may see and read them, and God in them; he that runs may read love written upon some of them in letters of Gold, or with beams of light. And he that runs may read wrath written upon others of them in letters of blood, or with streams of darkness, and the very shadows of death; but some works of God are so curtained about and veiled, so hidden and obscured, that we cannot perceive them. Though all the works of God are works of light, yet many of them are in the dark to man; While judgement and righteousness are the habitation of Gods Throne, clouds and darkness are round about him, (Psal. 97.2.)
