This is the fruit of Popery and the practise of the Papists Oh that you would loath such savage crueltie worse than hell it selfe Adde hereunto the third thing we must take notice of if any thing more may be conceived to manifest the hainousnesse of the fact the actors of the worke tooke the Sacrament upon it that they might not goe backe from the performance hereof what cursed wretches were these not onely to commit sinne but to make the Lord the Author of it nay to make the Sacrament the scale of the desolation of the Church Could the devill doe more I thinke he could scarce endevour to doe worse this was their policie and it should have beene our misery if the Lord had not delivered us Thus we see the policy their malice and resolution that we are defended from this malice of theirs and succoured from this policie of theirs there is no other reason can be rendered but the Lord is the defender of his people it was by his power that wee were delivered and that we are a Nation this day it was the Lords worke and to him we ought to returne all the praise so much for the first Vse of the Point The second use is this If God Vse 2 be the deliverer of his people Then it is a great ground of confidence to beare up the hearts of poore soules in affliction if God will deliver who can destroy if God will keepe who can hurt thinke of this in the day of triall and in the time of extremitie thinke of this that God never leaves nor forsakes his servants he will say to the South give up and to the North bring backe my servants from farre and my daughters from the end of the earth We that are assembled here if it had taken place many of us had beene scattered and the children that have beene borne since had not now beene here Therefore if the Lord shall shall send desolation upon the Land and wee be scattered one from another yet uphold your hearts and sustaine your soules the Lord will say to the South give up and to the North keepe not backe but bring my servants from farre and my daughters from the end of the earth he will restore those little ones againe and they shall live to praise his Name and magnifie the greatnesse of his power he can deliver against all meanes against all hopes and expectations thinke this against the time of trouble the enemy is very strong and we are weake if you expect any strange extremity intended against us thinke of this against that time though the policie malice and power of the enemy be great and we are weake and feeble yet the Lord is still the deliverer of his servants and behold the salvation of the Lord the Lord hath power enough still and can over-power the power of the enemy the Lord hath wisedome still and can defeate the policy of thy enemy thinke of this and heare for after times The last Vse is an Vse of exhortation Vse 3 Hath the Lord done all for you then you will save me a labour what will you then doe for God againe me thinkes you that are here this day should all come and resolve to consecrate your selves your soules and bodies to give up all unto the Lord it is hee that hath delivered you let him have obedience from you it is he that hath maintained you therefore give up liberally all that he hath bestowed upon you Luke 1 74 75. see the Collection there made He hath delivered us from the feare of our enemies that we should serve him in righteousnesse and holinesse all the dayes of our lives God hath redeemed us from the jawes of hell and the bond of the devill to what purpose that being redeemed from the devill and from our temporall enemies we should live in basenesse and loosenesse and dishonour him as he hath delivered us No but to serve him in holinesse and righteousnesse not in Holinesse onely in regard of the first Table but in Righteousnesse also in regard of the second Table and before him that is in Sinceritie and all the dayes of our life that is in the dayes of grace and prosperitie as also in the dayes of affliction therefore say the Lord hath delivered us in Eightie eight and in the Gunpowder treason to what purpose therefore call upon one another and say our lives our substance and all we have is the Lords therefore let us serve him and glorifie him 1 Sam. 27.28 when Hannah asked a child and the Lord heard her when she had the child shee returnes and marke how she pleads I prayed for the child and the Lord heard me therefore I will give him againe unto the Lord. You Fathers of Israel and Daughters of Sarah men and brethren thinke of it Nay I goe further you little ones that are preserved this day that you live you may thanke the Lord if Eightie eight or the Gunpowder treason had taken place where had you and your fathers been but if children will not or can not yet you mothers teach them and fathers instruct them thinke of it and joyne all in the same resolution doe as Hanna did present all you have about you before the Lord and say these children are thine we begg'd them in Eightie eight and in the Gunpowder treason they are thine by creation they are thine by preservation it is the Lord that hath delivered us from the jawes of the Lyon from the power of malicious enemies therefore now joyne hands and hearts together and say Lord blesse goods and children all we have is thine we consecrate all to thy Majestie had the Papists prevailed had the Powder plot taken ground we had beene defeated but thy power resisted them and thy wisedome defeated them therefore all is thine and wee render all unto thee Thus I charge you give up all unto the Lord he gave all at first he hath preserved all hitherto therefore give up all to the Lord as you have received all from him The second part of the Exhortation is this as we must consecrate all to God that hath given all so secondly here is a point of wisedome Labour to be in league with this God Oh that I could perswade you to tender
