of the wall went on in Nehemiahs time Nehem chap. 3 4.5 6. notwithstanding all attempts of enemies the peoples hearts fainting some chief ones treachery and confederacy with the enemies Nobles and Priests making affinity with them and withall a grievous oppression by Usury obstructing the work which yet was suddenly reformed Chap. 5. and in a very short space in 56 dayes the walls of that mighty City were all made up to the great terrour and amazement of the enemies who were forced to see that the work was wrought of God and afterward how strongly and successefully did he reform the profanation of the Sabbath though sundry of the Nobles of Judah were in fault and strangers also of the neighbour Nations helped forward the evill and the mischief of ungodly marriages broke out again but hee quelled all by his wisdome and zeal and scared the strangers away Chap. 13. And is there now any cause why you should despair of any assistance that you have need of in Gods work in your hands or that the greatnesse or quality of any offendors the fainting spirits of the people to bear the burthens that yet they must bear awhile longer the treachery of any among us or the malice or cunning or power of any adversaries should yet discourage you or weaken your hands Forget not how he dares put God in minde of his fidelity in all and though craving pardon and that GOD would spare him according to the greatnesse of his mercy yet expecting acceptance in all that he had done for God and that GOD would remember him for good and with this he closes his booke Accordingly let me leave this upon your hearts that never any people found God wanting unto them who were not wanting to themselves in a remarkable manner The first time that God called me by your Vote to speak to you in his name I was bold to tell you that I desired no other safety then what God would grant you in a way of uprightnesse and though within a few dayes after God brought you into great streights the greatest that ever you were in since the beginning of the war yet hath it appeared abundantly that my confidence was not vain I now say the like and more that I desire no greater happinesse or Honour in this world then God will put upon you if you shall believe what I have preached unto you this day and shall act accordingly And then as you shall not need any thing more for earth so shall you not want either felicity or glory in heaven See what God faith to his people Jer. 33.9 And it shall be to me a name of joy a praise and an honour before all the Nations of the earth which shall hear all the good that I do unto them and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodnesse and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it And accordingly strengthen your selves against all enemies that you may be apt to fear from forraign Countries or Malignants that you may suspect among our selves All those that now reproach you secretly and often but too openly shall then have their mouths stopt with shame and wonder and fear And as for the faithfull people of God among us unto whom you have done justice and extended mercy who have been rescued protected and relieved by you their children educated and especially their soules built up by your pious care how will they blesse you daily according to the language of Psal 20. ver 1 2 3 4. Changing but the number The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble the name of the God of Jacob defend thee send thee help from the Sanctuary and streng then thee out of Zion Remember all thy offerings and accept thy burnt sacrifice Grant thee according to thine own heart and fulfill all thy councell And even strangers shall blesse you as the Queen of Shebah did Solomon 1 Kings 9. and pronounced those blessed that were under him and near about him and when any of you shall passe by they will be ready to say There goes one of them that did me justice when I was oppressed that helped to prefer and promote my Petition when I was in distresse but for him I and my children might have starved I and my children might have perished for want of spirituall food the Lord blesse them the blessing of God light upon them where ever they go and what ever they take in hand Oh what an honour what a happinesse will this be to all of you and to every particular man that is faithfull among you when God shall fulfill that promise Esa 62.3 To make you a Crown of glory and a Diadem of beauty in the hand of the Lord precious in his sight and honourable even to all generations So that all men shall acknowledge that there is no Nation so near unto God nor unto whom he hath vouchsafed to be so near as this Nation of ours since he raised You up to do his great work among us Shall I say your Line shall be extended even to build Ireland also I am confident it shall upon the same conditions that having gone on faithfully here you carry along in all your attempts for that wasted and desolate Country the same zeal and affection to build Gods house there also But I end all with that wish or prayer of the Apostle 2 Thess 2. and the two last verses begging that the uttermost of the blessing there mentioned may be your portion in the fullest latitude Now our Lord Jesus Christ himselfe and God even our Father which hath loved us and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace comfort your hearts and stablish you in every good word and worke FINIS
