shalt not be for man so I saith God will be for thee that is while we are not alone with God and for God onely but will be for man and with man we must needs play the harlot and dote on man too much therefore saith he Thou shalt abide for me many dayes How is that the next verse shews vers 4. The children of Israel shall abide many dayes without a King and without a Prince and without a sacrifice and without an image and without an Ephod and without a Teraphim that is without all men or means without ordinance or Church officer for that 's the King or Prince without sacrifice or ordinance yea without an Ephod the least and lowest means to seek God by should not be found afterward they shall return and seek the Lord then God and David their King and fear the Lord and his goodness in the latter dayes that is when we are bewildernessed and at a loss in all things that we cannot look on any man nor find God in any means then we will seek the Lord our God God dwelling in us that 's David our King God in our flesh But next you say you are in the dark how then can you see or say that God dwells in you or delights in your flesh to take that into such union with himself Surely sister you are his Hephzibah and Beula that is the Lord indeed dwells and delights in you and your land is also married to God God is in perfect union with your flesh that 's your land yea the land of the Lord though you see not this being in the dark But againe God dwells in the dark as well as in light light and darkness is all one with him yea Heaven and Hell also with God and with men also who live in God alone 't is all one with them however they be or where they are they are still in God sit down in his will his will is theirs for they dwell in God and God in them even in their darkest condition If I go up to Heaven thou art there and if I go down to hell also thou art there Lord. Heaven and hell are things men much mistake in for David was sometimes in heaven and in hell also when he was in weakness but then when he was in spirit and strength and spiritual joy he was in heaven he could go up and down to heaven or hell and whereever he was he was still in God and God dwelt in him when he was in the darkest state Psal 139. This is a word full of comfort if God spake it in you that God dwells as glorious in a Saint when he is in the dark as when he is in light Yea in darkness the Lord shall be my light Mich. 7.8 for as darkness is his secret place and his pavilion round about him are dark waters Psal 18.11 so pavilions are places for princes and God retyres to his secret chamber of presence when he brings a poor soul to the dark there God dwells most gloriously as you may read Isa 57.15 the high and holy place there is that heart which has the glorious enjoyment of God with exceeding joy and constant peace the contrite and humble spirit is that which is shaken and shivered to pieces ground to pouder that 's contrite yet there God inhabits even in the humble in the lowest heart as the words signifie for the humble heart is not an excellency as men interpret it to be humble but a low poor dark spirit that is even stark dead that 's the humble therefore God is said there to revive it and how is that but by revealing himself to dwell there in glory Secondly when God retires himself into the dark and draws the heart there to dwell with him Oh how gloriously doth God teach a man then Psal 16.7 I will bless the Lord who giveth me counsel my reins instruct me in the night season there 's a night in man as well as a day darkness as well as light now in the night season in the darkest state God teacheth men most that 's my reins instruct me not the reins of my back but God dwelling in me and revealing himself in me instructs me more then all the teachings of men these cannot come to me nor counsel me in the dark but God can do it and doth I will bless the Lord who giveth me counsel That 's the meaning of Psa 19.2 Day to day uttereth speech and night unto night teacheth knowledge that is the glory of God revealed to us in the dark in the night gives more knowledge unto us then men who speak with most light and language The last thing that I would speak but I must be silent is this that God will yet give you to see not only the glory and knowledge of God but comfort also in the dark ye shall have a song as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept and gladness of heart c. Isa 30.29 when 's this joy that song in the Night not onely in the night of the Nation as 't is now vers 27 28. but in your darkest condition you shall have joy in God Therefore 't is said ye shall have a song in the night when the holy solemnity is kept the solemn feasts of the Heathens and holy feasts of Saints also under the law were in the night not onely of Passeover but the Lords Supper 't is a mystery that in the darkest night we shall merrily feast on God and so farewell Yours W.
