IV. Clouds make the day dark, dull, and People very Melancholy: So some of God's dismal Providences make the Dispensation in which we live very dark and uncomfortable, and fill us with Trouble and Sorrow.
IV. Clouds make the day dark, dull, and People very Melancholly: So some of God's dismal Providences make the Dispensation in which we live very dark and uncomfortable, and fill us with Trouble and Sorrow.
V. Clouds are at the Commandment of God, he covers the Heavens with them, and again dissipates and scatters them at his Pleasure: So all the Troubles and Calamities that attend a People or Nation, are brought upon them by the ordering and over-ruling hand of God's Providence: Is there any evil in a City and I have not done it? Who gave Jacob to the Spoil, 1and Israel to the Robbers? did not the Lord? &c. and then he again, sometimes in an unexpected manner, scatters all the thick Clouds in a moment, making the day clear, serene, and comfortable.
VI. Clouds sometimes grow thicker and thicker, threatening a dismal Storm of Thunder and Hail, causing all that are in the Field to hasten home: So the Dispensations of God's Judgments sometimes are such, that all God's People fear a dreadful Storm will come upon them; and then those who have strayed abroad, and estranged themselves from God, begin to look about them, and hasten home apace, to take Sanctuary in God.
