6. It's safe sailing in declining of rocks; when we adore the Lords withdrawing of influences, and justify him, and bewail our own sinful choice, and condemn our selves: in the Psal. 51. David, and in the confession Daniel, c. 9. Ezra 9. the humbled people of God do not hint at any heart wrestling with the decree of God, but only bewail their own rebellion, and not hearkening to the voice of the prophets, and desire to sit patiently and in silence in their lot of suffering, and reproach and shame. It is true, they complain, Lam. 3. 13. He hath caused the arrow of his quiver to enter into my reins; but yet they believe, 24. the Lord is my portion, saith my soul, therefore will I hope in him. And 2. they check unbelieving complaining, 39. Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sin.
