Baldwin near the Oxford Arms in Warwick-lane 1696. A SERMON Preach'd on the Thanksgiving-Day c. Micah VII Vers 15 16 17. According to the days of thy coming out of the Land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous things The Nations shall see and be confounded at all their might they shall lay their hand upon their mouth their ears shall be deaf They shall lick the dust like a Serpent they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth they shall be afraid of the Lord our God and shall fear because of thee THE Providence of God the malicious mischievous and monstrous desperate and damned Plot and Conspiracy Cruelty and Malice of our Enemies The Royal and most Excellent Proclamation of His Majesty King William wherein He speaks of the Mercy and Power of God in discovering and delivering us from a Horrid and Barbarous Conspiracy of Papists and other Traiterous Persons hath assembled us this day to pay our Vows unto the Lord and to speak of his marvellous Acts. In order to which I have chosen this Portion of Scripture in which you have 1. The Lord standing ingaged to his Church and People to give them as great a Deliverance from their Enemies and Troubles as great and wonderful as that from Egypt was According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous things O! The Lord will shew his Church and People as wonderful things in Mercy as he did when he brought them out of the Land of Egypt 2. You have the Amplification it self held forth in a general Expression in the first Words of Psal 16. 1. The Nations says he shall see 2. You have the Effects of this sight which are two 1. They shall be confounded This is heightned from that which was to be a special ingredient in that confusion viz. 1. It should be at all their might 2. From the sensible Signs and Symptoms by which their confusion should appear viz. 1. They shall lay their hands upon their mouth 2. Their ears shall be deaf And in the II. place In the 17th Verse You have another effect of the Nations seeing the marvellous things God was to do in the Deliverance of his Church and People viz. 1. They shall lick the dust like a serpent 2. They shall move out of their holes like worms of the Earth III. They shall be afraid Of whom Why the cause of their fear is 1. God Because of the Lord our God 2. The Church And because of Thee O Zion Before I proceed any further give me leave to open two things 1. What is meant by Nations here 2. What is meant by Seeing The Nations shall see 1. By Nations we are to understand those that are Enemies to God his Church and People the Nations That is a People that are afar off and Strangers to God and his People These are the Nations that are and shall be Counfounded at the Happiness of God's Church and People And no wonder it be so if we consider the Enmity and Envy that is in the World at God's Church and People Ishmael you know could not endure Isaac nor Esau Jacob in one Family and no wonder if it be so betwixt the Church and other Nations Hence They have consulted together with one consent they are confeder are against thee says the Royal Psalmist David Psal 83. 5. In the Original it is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Berith Ychrothu Percusso faedere contra te conspiraverunt vel Leges contra te tuosque Gentes Sanciverunt They have conspired against Thee by a Covenant They have made a League and Laws against Thee and Thy Nations Thy People O! These are the Nations 2. The Nations shall see By this Phrase of seeing we may understand that 1. The World is the very Theatre and Stage as it were The Church is set as a City upon a Hill and therefore all that are about such as Nations cannot but readily see and perceive most of the remarkable Changes of her case wherefore this without question is a special one viz. The Lords shewing unto her marvellous things 2. The Nations shall see They shall be forced to see the Churches Prosperity to their own Confusion and Ruine O! The Marvellous Things which the Lord doth for his Church and People are Things not done in a Corner as Paul hath it to Agrippa Acts 26. 26. The Nations Marvellous Iniquity and Malice Plotting and Contriving is in secret O! But God's Marvellous Works which he doth for his Church and People are openly done in the sight of all 3. The Nations shall see Marvellous Things of their own Nature use to spread far and draw many to see them The Queen of Sheba came far to see and hear the Truth of the Marvellous Reports of Solomon Sure we may say a greater than Solomon is here who deserves it much better that Men should talk of the Glory of his Mighty Acts. 3. The Nations shall see The Nations are often the subject of God's mighty Acts and marvellous Things for his Church and People Yea they are many times made both to see and fear them at once I gave Egypt for thy Ransom Ethiopia and Sheba for thee Isaiah 43. 3. And these are such wonders which the Nations cannot but see being so much concerned in themselves 4. The Nations shall see The Lord has promised that to his Church Isaiah 26. 11. Lord when thy hand is lifted up they will not see but they shall see And be ashamed for their envy at the People Oh it is a sight that in the World they have worst will of Yet they shall see their own might confounded and weakned 5. The Nations shall see The Lords marvellous Things for his Church and People will not shall not want Publishers no no Psalm 145. 6. Men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts and v. 4. One generation shall declare thy works to another and shall declare thy mighty acts In the Hebrew 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Dor Ledor Jeschachar Mehachecha Aetas Aetati laudabit opera tua One Age shall praise thy Works to another Age The Generation of the Old World and Old Testament shall declare thy Works and the Generation of the New Testament shall Praise thy Works viz. Works of
