<p>Note, 1. The comfort of the people of God is the honour of the nation in which they live. There is a <i>great glory</i> dwelling in the land when <i>the righteous do rejoice</i>, when they have their liberty, the free exercise of their religion, and are not persecuted, when the government countenances them and speaks comfortably to them, when they prosper and grow rich, and, much more, when they are preferred and employed and have power put into their hands. 2. The advancement of the wicked is the eclipsing of the beauty of a nation: <i>When the wicked rise</i> and get head they make head against all that is sacred, and then <i>a man is hidden</i>, a good man is thrust into obscurity, is necessitated to abscond for his own safety; corruptions prevail so generally that, as in Elijahs time, there seem to be no good men left, the <i>wicked walk</i> so thickly <i>on every side</i>.</p>
