one day or in a moment yet he doth it gradually in the space of ten Months God could make a Corn or Grain of Wheat to grow up in a moment but he hath appointed a season for it The Errors and Corruptions of the Church of Rome are such that she may well be called the Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth She hath her Daughters that tho they profess to be different from her yet they are too much of her Spirit All that Worship Idols of Gold and Silver VVood and Stone And likewise those that although they do not Worship Images yet if they love Money more than God they are guilty of Idolatry and will be numbred among her Daughters at the great Day of Account As also all Persecuters and false Worshipers It was a mighty Work of God that hath broken the Ice in that that hath been already begun and brought to pass and is yet further to be carried on till it be compleated and accomplished It was a wonderful Discovery and Revelation that God made to the Apostle John who by the Light of Prophecy foresaw things to come many Hundred Years before they were fulfilled wonderful things respecting Worldly Governments relating to the State and Condition of the Church and People of God And there appeared a great wonder in heaven a woman cloathed with the Sun and the Moon under her feet and upon her head a Crown of twelve Stars And she being with child cried travailing in birth and pained to be delivered And behold a great red dragon having seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns upon his heads And the Dragon stood before the woman that was ready to be delivered for to devour her child as soon as it was born And she brought forth a man child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron and her child was caught up unto God and to his throne And the woman fled into the Wilderness c. And the dragon was worth with the woman and went to make war with the remnant of her seed which keep the Commandments of God and have the Testimony Jesus Christ The Apostle John by the Light of Divine Prophecy he foresaw how long the Woman should continue in the Wilderness and when the Scarlet Whore should be Judged that had made her self drunk with the Blood of the Saints and Martyrs And after these things saith the Apostle I heard a great voice of much people in heaven saying Alleluja Salvation and Glory and Honour and Power unto the Lord our God For true and righteous are his Judgments for he hath judged the great whore which did corrupt the earth with her fornication and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand And the four and twenty elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God that sat on the throne saying Amen Alleluja And the four living creatures and the four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb having every one of them harps and golden vials full of odours which are the prayers of the saints And they sang a new song saying Thou wast slain and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred and tongue and people and nation And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea and all that are in them heard I saying Blessing and Honour and Glory and Power be unto him that sitteth upon the throne and unto the Lamb for ever and ever So that this I say by way of Testimony out of the Holy Scripture that it hath been the Work of Gods people to praise God for all his Mercies Blessings and Deliverances and this is that which God expects from us that we should Magnifie and praise him when he is pleased to work great Deliverances for us according to those Words of the Psalmist Offer unto God thanksgiving and pay thy vows unto the most high And call upon me in the day of trouble I will deliver thee and thou shalt glorifie me This is the just Tribute that God requires who is the Great Deliverer and Preserver of Men to glorifie and praise him and give him that honour that is due to his Great and Excellent Name and not only to praise him with our Tongues and Lips but with our Lives Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me saith the Lord and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God And our Saviour commandeth this and chargeth it upon us as our duty Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorifie your Father which is in heaven Now as concerning the praises of God all Gods praises which are acceptable to him they are to be in Spirit and in Truth God is a Spirit and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth The father seeketh such to worship him The praises of God are of a higher and lower degree We find there are in the Book of Psalms Songs of degrees so there are the high Praises of God when the Soul is raised up by Gods Power and Spirit from a deep and profound sense of his Mercies and great Deliverances to render Thanksgiving and Praise For thou hast delivered my soul from death mine eyes from tears and my feet from falling The Psalmist praised God for Spiritual and Temporal Blessings for Mercies both to his Soul and Body I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live I will sing praises unto my God while I have my being My meditation of him shall be sweet I will be glad in the Lord. When the Psalmist comes to utter the high Praises of God these words are going before Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth and let the wicked be no more bless thou the Lord O my soul Praise ye the Lord. When the high Praises of the Lord are to be in our Mouths then all evil thoughts and wicked imaginations and sinful motions such as hinder Gods Praises are to be put far from us that we may worship God in Spirit and serve him with Sincerity and Purity of Heart O give thanks unto the Lord call upon his name and make known his deeds among the people Sing unto him sing psalms unto him talk ye of all his wonderous works Glory ye in his holy name let the heart of them rejoyce that seek the Lord. Seek ye the Lord and his strength seek his face evermore Remember his marvellous works that he hath done Let the saints be joyful in glory let the high praises of God be in their mouth c. Blessed are they that can witness to this Truth that upon receipt of great Mercies do render praises to God If real gratitude be in our Hearts and the high Praises of God in our mouths this is a token for good it is like the white stone and new
