observation_n upon_o which_o to_o discourse_v 1._o from_o the_o confession_n of_o sin_n imply_v we_o may_v observe_v that_o it_o be_v very_o fit_a for_o nation_n under_o heavy_a pressure_n and_o calamity_n to_o confess_v their_o sin_n to_o god_n public_o 2._o from_o the_o petition_n itself_o express_v we_o may_v further_o observe_v that_o it_o be_v very_o proper_a for_o such_o a_o afflict_a nation_n to_o pray_v earnest_o to_o god_n for_o help_n and_o deliverance_n then_o from_o the_o second_o general_n the_o motive_n upon_o which_o the_o petition_n be_v ground_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n name_n we_o may_v infer_v that_o it_o be_v proper_a and_o acceptable_a to_o god_n for_o a_o afflict_a people_n to_o address_v to_o he_o upon_o this_o motive_n the_o glory_n of_o his_o name_n or_o his_o name_n sake_n i_o shall_v not_o insist_v upon_o either_o of_o the_o two_o observation_n infer_v from_o the_o first_o general_n as_o be_v topic_n of_o discourse_n frequent_o handle_v upon_o these_o occasion_n but_o i_o shall_v choose_v to_o treat_v only_o on_o the_o second_o general_n and_o the_o inference_n from_o thence_o and_o here_o i_o shall_v 1._o explain_v these_o expression_n of_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o name_n 2._o i_o shall_v show_v you_o what_o particular_a reason_n the_o people_n of_o the_o jew_n have_v to_o petition_n god_n upon_o this_o motive_n 3._o i_o shall_v show_v you_o what_o general_a reason_n there_o be_v that_o may_v justify_v and_o encourage_v the_o use_n of_o this_o motive_n by_o other_o people_n 4._o i_o shall_v inquire_v so_o far_o as_o we_o may_v with_o reverence_n and_o humility_n upon_o what_o occasion_n and_o at_o what_o season_n it_o be_v proper_a for_o any_o nation_n to_o use_v this_o motive_n in_o their_o public_a devotion_n and_o last_o i_o shall_v make_v some_o application_n to_o the_o present_a occasion_n of_o our_o meeting_n first_o by_o the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o scripture_n be_v frequent_o to_o be_v understand_v god_n himself_o in_o all_o his_o excellency_n attribute_n and_o perfection_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o name_n be_v the_o render_v those_o perfection_n conspicuous_a and_o observable_a so_o that_o to_o move_v god_n for_o his_o name_n sake_n or_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o name_n be_v to_o move_v he_o that_o the_o effect_n of_o his_o divine_a attribute_n may_v be_v make_v visible_a and_o illustrious_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o man_n so_o as_o that_o they_o may_v be_v have_v in_o just_a esteem_n and_o veneration_n the_o attribute_n of_o god_n which_o afflict_a people_n be_v prone_a to_o desire_n god_n to_o exert_v on_o their_o behalf_n be_v principal_o his_o power_n his_o justice_n and_o his_o mercy_n when_o a_o nation_n be_v enfeeble_v in_o its_o strength_n when_o it_o be_v humble_v and_o bring_v into_o trouble_n and_o difficulty_n by_o its_o enemy_n when_o there_o be_v no_o hope_n of_o salvation_n by_o any_o outward_a or_o visible_a assistance_n then_o to_o desire_n god_n to_o show_v his_o omnipotent_a power_n be_v to_o desire_v he_o to_o glorify_v and_o signalise_v that_o attribute_n when_o a_o enemy_n be_v violent_a and_o cruel_a bloody_a and_o insatiable_a revengeful_a and_o irreconcilable_a then_o to_o desire_n god_n to_o execute_v his_o just_a indignation_n and_o veugeance_n upon_o they_o be_v to_o desire_v he_o to_o let_v it_o be_v see_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n that_o judge_v in_o the_o earth_n when_o such_o afflict_a people_n be_v sensible_a of_o their_o sin_n and_o provocation_n and_o be_v humble_v for_o they_o and_o be_v resolve_v to_o forsake_v they_o then_o to_o desire_n god_n to_o have_v mercy_n be_v to_o desire_v he_o to_o glorify_v that_o attribute_n of_o he_o in_o which_o he_o take_v most_o delight_n thus_o these_o attribute_n of_o god_n which_o be_v his_o name_n be_v exert_v in_o a_o signal_n and_o illustrious_a manner_n and_o at_o a_o proper_a and_o seasonable_a time_n be_v render_v glorious_a and_o conspicuous_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o men._n 2._o i_o shall_v show_v you_o what_o particular_a reason_n the_o jewish_a nation_n have_v to_o petition_n god_n to_o glorify_v those_o his_o attribute_n on_o their_o behalf_n and_o there_o be_v two_o especial_o first_o as_o they_o be_v a_o nation_n select_v from_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n and_o make_v the_o peculiar_a people_n of_o god_n for_o he_o

but_o as_o their_o national_a king_n who_o reside_v among_o they_o in_o a_o particular_a manner_n have_v several_a illustrious_a symbol_n of_o his_o presence_n as_o the_o ark_n the_o tabernacle_n the_o temple_n and_o the_o shechinah_n or_o visible_a brightness_n term_v the_o glory_n which_o be_v a_o conspicuous_a and_o awful_a representation_n of_o his_o majesty_n by_o these_o it_o be_v know_v not_o to_o the_o jew_n only_o but_o to_o the_o neighbour_a nation_n also_o that_o they_o have_v a_o peculiar_a governor_n who_o take_v especial_a care_n of_o they_o and_o feed_v they_o and_o conduct_v and_o fight_v for_o they_o and_o afflict_a and_o punish_v other_o nation_n for_o their_o sake_n they_o know_v he_o by_o those_o name_n of_o power_n the_o

because_o his_o power_n and_o his_o goodness_n be_v thereby_o know_v to_o all_o the_o neighbour_a nation_n i_o shall_v now_o proceed_v to_o the_o four_o thing_n propose_v to_o inquire_v as_o far_o as_o it_o be_v fit_a for_o we_o upon_o what_o occasion_n and_o at_o what_o season_n it_o may_v be_v proper_a for_o a_o nation_n to_o use_v this_o motive_n in_o their_o address_n to_o god_n we_o ought_v indeed_o to_o honour_n god_n daily_o and_o as_o much_o as_o we_o can_v to_o promote_v his_o honour_n and_o to_o pray_v that_o the_o name_n of_o god_n may_v be_v more_o and_o more_o know_v and_o exalt_v in_o the_o repetition_n of_o his_o praise_n here_o on_o earth_n as_o they_o be_v repeat_v in_o heaven_n by_o saint_n and_o angel_n this_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o our_o saviour_n have_v teach_v we_o to_o pray_v for_o and_o in_o the_o first_o place_n before_o we_o petition_v for_o our_o daily_a bread_n but_o beside_o that_o this_o aught_o to_o be_v our_o daily_a prayer_n and_o endeavour_n there_o be_v some_o especial_a season_n and_o opportunity_n in_o which_o good_a man_n ought_v to_o be_v more_o earnest_n in_o their_o prayer_n and_o more_o industrious_a in_o their_o endeavour_n for_o the_o promote_a and_o vindicate_v the_o honour_n of_o god_n and_o i_o think_v i_o may_v name_v these_o two_o first_o when_o the_o existence_n and_o providence_n of_o god_n be_v call_v in_o question_n deny_v by_o some_o and_o expose_v and_o profane_v by_o other_o in_o this_o case_n they_o that_o believe_v in_o he_o and_o worship_n he_o aught_o to_o be_v concern_v and_o humble_o to_o pray_v that_o he_o will_v appear_v signal_o for_o the_o vindication_n of_o himself_o and_o his_o own_o honour_n of_o this_o the_o psalmist_n seem_v sensible_a in_o the_o 119_o psal_n and_o at_o the_o 126_o ver_fw-la it_o be_v time_n for_o thou_o lord_n to_o work_v say_v he_o for_o they_o have_v make_v void_a thy_o law_n to_o work_v that_o be_v to_o work_v some_o extraordinary_a thing_n to_o lay_v to_o his_o hand_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o other_o english_a translation_n as_o if_o there_o be_v need_v to_o put_v to_o more_o strength_n than_o ordinary_a at_o such_o a_o time_n when_o man_n do_v not_o only_o neglect_v the_o law_n of_o god_n for_o that_o have_v be_v usual_a in_o all_o age_n but_o make_v it_o null_n and_o void_a as_o far_o as_o in_o they_o lay_v by_o deny_v

and_o wisdom_n of_o god_n there_o be_v some_o surprise_a act_n of_o his_o providence_n that_o many_o time_n make_v a_o more_o sensible_a impression_n upon_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n than_o the_o common_a and_o stand_a effect_n of_o his_o ominipotent_a power_n there_o be_v various_a instance_n by_o which_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n be_v render_v signal_n and_o observable_a in_o the_o

fit_a to_o interpose_v in_o a_o extraordinary_a manner_n upon_o this_o occasion_n all_o history_n both_o sacred_a and_o profane_a inform_v we_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o uncertain_a in_o
