doth bring good to his people out of the evill that i● in the hearts of their enemies Josephs experien●es of God ●●sides many Saints more doth declare this upon the house top and telleth the ages to come so long as the Sunne and Mo●●● end●reth that God is a faithfull gracious and omnipotent God upon experience had of him For the next witnesse to this let us call in Moses and consider that progresse of experiences which he had of God from his Cradle to his grave I from his birth we shall finde in the beginning of his Booke of Exodus that there was a Decree passed for his death before he had life in that command that the Midwives had from Pharoah to murther every male Childe of the Israelites in the birth of which Moses was one but God tyed up their hands and gave him favour in their sight that they obeyed not the command of Pharoah there is his first experience of God and when he could be hid no longer in his Mothers house then God taught her as he did Noah to make an Arke to preserve her Sonne Moses from drowning and that Arke or Cradle of Bulrushes doth preserve this precious Infant till God brings other hands to take care of him in which worke of God there is much experience of his power and wisedome that Pharoahs Daughter should preserve tht a which her Father had appointed to dye and that his Mother which brought him forth should be the Pape which doth give him suck this act of Gods providence brings double mercy with it both to Mother and Babe it joyes her heart to have her Childe in her armes shee sayes as Jacob my sonne Moses yet lives God had speciall worke for him to doe therefore he commits him to speciall care in bringing him up even the bosome of his tender Mother truely these are very great experiences of God yet he had more then these God doth not leave him that he had thus preserved but takes care of him in his Mothers house and in Pharoahs Court and when God comes to use him in that worke for which he had preserved him hee then findes God to be all in him he went to the people of Israel upon Gods message and in the name of God to leade them out of Egypt into the Wildernesse to serve him and as he went in Gods name so all along he had great experiences of God God made Moses his messenger to Pharoah and in this also he had great experience of God in his judgements upon Pharoah his houshold and the whole Land you may reade them at large but when God had by Moses brought the Children of Israel out of Egypt then Pharoah in the hardnesse and malice of his heart with a potent Army followeth them to the Red Sea then the people murmured against Moses he goes to God and opens their condition before him and comes backe to the people upon the experiences he had of God and bids them from God to stand still and be quiet they should see his Salvation and how full salvation that was they all had experience of it was wonderfull salvation wrought in wonders which doth upon experience declare God to be a God of salvations and a wonder-working God a faithfull God that made every tittle good which he had promised they had full deliverance and did see their enemies no more alive Here Moses had exceeding full experience of God in his power and faithfulnesse that as God did imploy him so he went along with him and made the Sea dry land for him and the people he led to passe through death from death into the Wildernesse where God gave him and his company many and great experiences of himselfe Now I shall joyne Moses and the Children of Israel together in their experiences and here they had a Pillar of cloud by day and of fire by night in which they did experiment God to be a safe guide though in a Wildernesse and an untrodden path they thirst I and murmure too for water God by Moses giveth them water from the Rook Exod. 17.6 here they experiment that the barren Wildernesse Exod. 16.4 and the stony Rock doth bring forth water at the command of God nothing can be too hard for the omnipotent power of God to melt into his owne will Well Exod. 15.25 they want food Moses cryes to God he giveth them Quailes and Manna by which they have further experience that no place can straiten God in giving to his people what he pleaseth and for Shooe● and cloathing though their Journey last forty yeares yet these ware not out but last as long by which they doe againe experiment that the eternall God doth give continuance to what he pleaseth and as long as he pleaseth Thus I have pointed at some of those many yeares experiences that Moses and the Children of Israel had of God from which we may gather thus much tha● God is an experimented God by his people of Olde to bee aglorious gracious wise faithfull omnipotent and wonder-working God Againe Joshuah which succeeded Moses in this worke of God had great experience of God going along with him in the worke I shall mention only in one particular that is in Iosh 6.20 In the besieging of Jericho when the Priests blew the Trompets and the people shouted the Text sayes the wall fell downe flat so that the people went up into the Citie every man str●ight before him and they tooke the City This is such an experiment of the power of God as for clay to open the blinde mans eyes the one as likely meanes as the other but GOD was all in both Like unto this was Gideons experience of God when as with three hundred men he overthrew the whole host of the Midianites Judges 7. Judges 7. We shall finde in this Chapter that God commanded Gideon to lessen his Army of two and thirty thousand to bring them to three hundred God assures him victory with these few and giveth him this reason why hee would have no more men that the victory might appeare to be hie Gideon obeyes Gods will and God makes good his word Gideon did believe God could save as well by few as by many that the victory would be Gods not mans and God makes him to experiment that of him which he did believe Here is an experience of a full God amongst empty creatures when they engage against full creatures empty of God God makes the victory his owne and the slaughter of his enemies for they kill one another it is all one to God how weake soever the meanes be hee useth whether his Army be Flies as in Aegypt or three hundred men as here the strength is his owne and that will certainly occomplish what it intends to doe all these experiences doe plainly speak it So that widow in 2 Kings 4. in that great increase of her cruse of oyle had ample experience of the fulnesse of God
