elevate_a devotion_n this_o day_n let_v we_o indeed_o afflict_v our_o soul_n before_o the_o all-seeing_a god_n lest_o our_o mock-fast_n make_v work_v for_o real_a one_o and_o lest_o we_o hasten_v that_o wrath_n which_o we_o seem_v to_o deprecate_v let_v we_o indeed_o do_v the_o needful_a work_n of_o intercessor_n with_o god_n and_o that_o we_o may_v not_o want_v argument_n to_o plead_v for_o mercy_n the_o latter_a part_n of_o my_o text_n will_v suggest_v something_o apposite_a to_o our_o case_n which_o be_v sum_v up_o in_o my_o second_o observation_n viz._n that_o a_o people_n profession_n of_o the_o true_a religion_n and_o be_v those_o who_o god_n have_v signal_o deliver_v and_o defend_v in_o time_n past_a may_v be_v humble_o plead_v with_o god_n as_o a_o argument_n for_o further_a deliverance_n for_o thus_o moses_n pray_v and_o plead_v in_o the_o text._n o_o lord_n destroy_v not_o thy_o people_n and_o thy_o inheritance_n which_o thou_o have_v redeem_v through_o thy_o greatness_n which_o thou_o have_v bring_v forth_o of_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n with_o a_o mighty_a hand_n in_o which_o he_o seem_v to_o argue_v thus_o oh_o lord_n may_v it_o please_v thou_o to_o make_v the_o procedure_n of_o thy_o providence_n towards_o this_o people_n suitable_a to_o what_o it_o have_v be_v hitherto_o thou_o have_v hitherto_o preserve_v and_o defend_v they_o by_o astonish_a dispensation_n we_o can_v never_o forget_v that_o dreadful_a succession_n of_o miraculous_a plague_n which_o thou_o bring_v upon_o our_o enemy_n the_o egyptian_n how_o gross_o thou_o do_v infatuate_a they_o and_o how_o eminent_o thou_o do_v inspirit_v we_o and_o by_o what_o a_o wonderful_a revolution_n thou_o be_v please_v to_o free_v we_o from_o their_o slavery_n oh_o let_v we_o not_o now_o perish_v by_o that_o powerful_a hand_n by_o which_o we_o be_v so_o late_o deliver_v it_o be_v true_a we_o be_v guilty_a of_o great_a provocation_n but_o thy_o mercy_n be_v great_a than_o our_o perverseness_n oh_o spare_v a_o very_a sinful_a people_n for_o thy_o infinite_a mercy_n sake_n lest_o when_o the_o egyptian_n hear_v of_o our_o destruction_n they_o triumph_v in_o our_o ruin_n in_o

in_o mercy_n this_o be_v the_o purport_n of_o the_o plea_n in_o my_o text_n which_o may_v be_v reduce_v to_o these_o four_o particular_n 1._o he_o plead_v for_o mercy_n for_o they_o on_o the_o account_n of_o their_o relation_n to_o god_n as_o they_o be_v his_o people_n destroy_v not_o thy_o people_n and_o thy_o inheritance_n they_o be_v a_o peculiar_a people_n by_o a_o very_a singular_a and_o select_v love_n of_o god_n deut._n 4._o 43._o have_v god_n assay_v to_o go_v and_o take_v he_o a_o nation_n from_o the_o midst_n of_o another_o nation_n by_o sign_n wonder_n and_o by_o a_o mighty_a hand_n as_o the_o lord_n your_o god_n do_v you_o etc._n etc._n so_o that_o now_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n seem_v to_o be_v concern_v for_o their_o preservation_n now_o all_o that_o profess_v the_o incorrupt_a religion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n may_v form_v a_o argument_n somewhat_o like_o this_o and_o say_v lord_n we_o be_v christian_n we_o cleave_v to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o thy_o belove_a son_n for_o his_o sake_n who_o name_n we_o bear_v and_o for_o the_o honour_n of_o thy_o visible_a church_n on_o farth_n destroy_v we_o not_o and_o though_o alas_o too_o too_o few_o of_o we_o be_v due_o influence_v by_o our_o holy_a faith_n yet_o we_o general_o avow_v thou_o thou_o alone_o to_o be_v our_o god_n in_o opposition_n to_o idol_n and_o other_o go_n oh_o that_o we_o can_v say_v we_o be_v christian_n in_o opposition_n to_o hypocrisy_n and_o profaneness_n too_o than_o our_o plea_n will_v be_v irresistible_a ii_o there_o may_v be_v a_o further_a plea_n infer_v from_o moses_n his_o prayer_n thus_o viz._n for_o as_o much_o as_o there_o be_v seldom_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o true_a religion_n without_o some_o hearty_a and_o entire_a embracer_n of_o it_o so_o that_o a_o argument_n may_v be_v make_v like_o that_o of_o abraham_n gen._n 18._o 24._o if_o there_o be_v fifty_o or_o forty_o or_o but_o ten_o righteous_a person_n will_v thou_o not_o spare_v the_o corrupt_a generality_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o this_o little_a sound_a part_n this_o we_o have_v great_a hope_n may_v be_v plead_v in_o the_o behalf_n of_o this_o nation_n yea_o of_o this_o city_n even_o in_o a_o far_o great_a number_n than_o that_o which_o abraham_n begin_v his_o plea_n with_o but_o true_o the_o number_n of_o the_o good_a be_v too_o too_o small_a and_o indeed_o except_o the_o lord_n have_v leave_v unto_o we_o this_o small_a remnant_n we_o have_v be_v altogether_o as_o sodom_n and_o like_a unto_o gomorrah_n isa_n 1._o 9_o but_o we_o trust_v we_o shall_v fare_v the_o better_a for_o the_o sake_n of_o these_o iii_o another_o part_n of_o moses_n plea_n be_v ground_v on_o the_o past_a mercy_n which_o god_n have_v vouchsafe_v to_o this_o people_n this_o be_v the_o people_n say_v he_o which_o thou_o have_v redeem_v through_o thy_o greatness_n and_o bring_v out_o of_o egypt_n with_o thy_o mighty_a hand_n in_o this_o respect_n also_o some_o plea_n may_v be_v make_v for_o england_n it_o be_v a_o land_n which_o god_n have_v by_o a_o series_n of_o wonder_n free_v from_o the_o slavery_n and_o corruption_n of_o popery_n a_o infinite_a blessing_n which_o we_o have_v now_o enjoy_v for_o almost_o two_o century_n of_o year_n and_o though_o there_o have_v be_v many_o combination_n and_o restless_a plotting_n against_o we_o yet_o bless_a be_v god_n they_o have_v hitherto_o prove_v abortive_a and_o we_o be_v at_o this_o day_n through_o infinite_a mercy_n a_o free_a people_n enjoy_v the_o bless_a beam_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o just_a and_o ancient_a right_n of_o our_o mother-country_n o_o may_v that_o bountiful_a god_n who_o have_v hitherto_o thus_o seasonable_o thus_o marvellous_o appear_v for_o we_o still_o be_v our_o guardian_n may_v his_o infinite_a goodness_n never_o leave_v we_o but_o flow_v down_o with_o the_o same_o exuberant_a stream_n on_o we_o and_o our_o posterity_n to_o the_o late_a generation_n so_o that_o we_o may_v here_o say_v as_o solomon_n the_o lord_n our_o god_n be_v with_o we_o as_o he_o be_v with_o our_o father_n let_v he_o not_o leave_v we_o nor_o forsake_v we_o 1_o king_n 8._o 57_o iv_o another_o part_n
