thy judgments Many are my persecutors and mine enemies yet do I not decline from thy testimonies Consider how I love thy precepts quicken me O Lord according to thy loving kindness Of this I might give many Instances from the Holy Scriptures When the Lord brought a Flood to drown the old World he said I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth both man and beast and the creeping thing and the fowls of the air But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord and he commanded Noah to make him an Ark for the saving himself and his Family and when he had finished it the Lord said unto Noah Come thou and all thy house into the Ark For thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation and that Ark was Instrumental for the preserving him and his Family from the Deluge We see what benefit Noah's Family received by and through him You that dwell in Families that serve and fear the Lord there is great benefit and advantage you may receive thereby but it is not that which intitles you to Eternal Salvation It is not the Righteousness of Parents that will save their Children but they must be changed and renewed in their own particulars But there is a great advantage in it for Chilrend and Servants to dwell in a Godly Family they enjoy many Spiritual Advantages and partake of Temporal Salvation and Deliverances as it appears by Noah's Family who were saved in the Ark. After the Flood Noah builded an Altar unto the Lord and in token of his Thanksgiving he took of every clean beast and of every clean fowl and offered burnt-offerings on the Altar And the Lord smelled a sweet savour There was a sweet savour did ascend to the Lord it was the savour of his Faith And God spake unto Noah and to his sons with him saying And I behold I establish my Covenant with you and with your seed after you And I will establish my Covenant with you neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth I shall give some further Instances of this great Truth of offering Praise and Thanksgiving to the Lord for Mercies and Deliverances Consider that great and wonderful Deliverance that God gave to the Children of Israel when he brought them out of Egypt through the Red Sea as upon dry Land He rebuked the Red Sea also and it was dried up so he led them through the depths as through the wilderness And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy And the waters covered their enemies there was not one of them left Then believed they his words they sang his praise You have the words of Thanksgiving set down Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord I will sing unto the Lord for he hath triumphed gloriously the horse and the rider hath he thrown into the Sea We have many Instances of this Duty of praising God in the Book of Psalms When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion we were like them that dream Then was our mouth filled with laughter and our tongue with singing then said they among the heathen the Lord hath done great things for them The Lord hath done great things for us whereof we are glad And the Psalmist tells us By the rivers of Babylon there we sat down yea we wept when we remembred Zion We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song and they that wasted us required of us mirth saying Sing us one of the Songs of Zion How shall we sing the Lords song in a strange land But when they came back to their own Land when the Lord turned back their Captivity then they sang the Songs of Zion The Apostle John tells in the Book of Revelations how he saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire and them that had gotten the victory over the beast and over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name standing on the sea of glass having the harps of God And they sang the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lamb saying great and marvellous are thy works Lord God Almighty just and true are thy ways thou King of Saints Who are these may some say of whom this may be understood that they sung the Song of Moses and the Song of the Lamb I hope this is in part already fulfilled and it will be more abundantly fulfilled when the Lord shall be pleased to raise up many and make them Living Witnesses of this Victory over the Beast and over his Image and over his Mark and over the Number of his Name Those that shall be raised up with a Living Testimony and with a holy courage to withstand the gross Errors of the Church of Rome and all her false Doctrin and all the Papal Power by which they have brought into bondage so many Thousands and Millions of People Blessed be the Lord our God that hath begun to break off that Yoke and give a measure of Victory over this Beast this Beastly Power and this Beastly Raging Spirit that hath for many Hundred Years and Ages past prevailed over the Spirits and Consciences of Men and brought a Consternation upon them that the general cry was Who is able to make war with the Beast Yet still God hath had a number that would not Worship the Beast and they were Sealed with the Seal of God yet the greatest number Worshipped him whose Names are not written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the Foundation of the World whose Cry in those days was Who is like the Beast Who is able to make war with the Beast I hope none of us here are of that mind to slight and undervalue what God hath already done to make way and room for what is now brought to pass and will be more and more brought to pass and accomplished the great Work of God in raising up Men with a Noble and Undaunted Courage and great Resolution with their Lives in their Hands for many have laid down their Lives to give a faithful Testimony of the Truth and have sealed it with their Blood above One hundred and thirty Years ago The Work of God is to be owned the Arm of God was made bare and his Mighty Hand made known therein This which hath been done is a great preparation for what is to follow He that made not the World at once but by degrees as in the space of six days God that was before ●ime was is pleased to take time to bring forth his most wonderful Works in the World God could if he pleas'd form the Child in the Mothers Womb in
