speak so disdainfully and make such proud boasting c. And he who Rules in all the Kingdoms of the Children of Men all whose works are truth and his ways judgment and those that walk in pride he is able to abase will at length hear the Sighs and Groans of those poor Wretches whom that Oppressor hath made very miserable And will dash likewise all the Designs that are against us here in those Kingdoms if we be not so ungrateful to Him as not to regard the works of the Lord nor the operations of his hands For when did the Hand of God appear more visibly than it hath done of late in Defeating the Attempts that have been made in these Three Kingdoms upon our Religion and Liberties And can we think that God intends they should rise up again who have been so remarkably confounded No surely if we be not so wickedly unthankful as to forget the Hand that hath saved us or slight his Mercies towards us There 's the remaining Danger and therefore let us take heed to ourselves and keep our Souls diligently lest we forget the things our Eyes have seen and lest they depart out of our Heart all the days of our Life This is a thing which requires very great care because we are naturally forgetful Creatures apt to be unmindful of Benefits and in this particular Case shall meet with many Attempts upon us to make us like the old Israelites disgust our present Happiness and in effect wish our selves again in Egypt Which I have not time left to represent so effectually as it deserves but must only intreat you to be aware of this Danger and watch your selves so carefully that nothing efface the sense of God's great Goodness to you in the late Deliverance he hath given you And then he who hath hitherto heard our Prayers will still fulfil our humble Petitions He will hear the Cry of those miserable People who are undone by a haughty Oppressor Though he bear long as it is in the Gospel for this Day he will avenge his own Elect yea he will avenge them speedily And we may rationally hope he will also preserve us from falling into his cruel Hands He will stretch forth his Hand against the furiousness of our Enemies and put them to shame that hate us He will go on to disappoint them and cast them down and as the Psalmist elsewhere prays reward them according to their Deeds and according to the Wickedness of their own Inventions Recompence them after the Work of their Hands and pay them what they have deserved In one word break them down and not build them up The Lord will perfect that which concerneth us for his Mercy endureth for ever He will not forsake the Work of his own Hands But we may take the boldness to sing on this Day of Thanksgiving as the Church doth upon the like occasion Psal xlviii 9 14.

BEING THE Thanksgiving-Day FOR THE Preservation of Their MAJESTIES The Success of Their Forces in the Reducing of IRELAND And for the KING' 's Safe RETURN By the Right Reverend Father in God SYMON Lord Bishop of ELY LONDON Printed for Ric. Chiswell at the Rose and Crown in St. Paul's Church-Yard MDCXCI The Bishop of ELY's THANKSGIVING SERMON BEFORE THE House of LORDS A SERMON Preached before the HOUSE of LORDS c. DEUT. IV. 9. Only take heed to thy self and keep thy soul diligently lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen and lest they depart out of thy heart all the days of thy life THE Jewish Nation being represented to us by St. Paul as our Types and Examples and their History being written as he informs us 1 Cor. X. 11. For our admonition upon whom the ends of the world are come We cannot have a more sure direction for the preservation and continuance of those great Blessings which we come this day to acknowledg with Praises and Thanksgivings than from the Instruction which God himself here gives to that People by his Servant Moses in the Conclusion of his Ministryamong them They had seen strange things such as no Age had produced the like since the Creation of the World They beheld innumerable signs and Tokens of a Divine Presence with them and were surrounded with so many amazing proofs of an extraordinary Providence over them that they could not doubt of God's singular favour towards them nor of the continuance of his Divine Protection Who doth not love to leave his own work imperfect but designs to finish what he hath most graciously begun The only danger was lest they should forget all that their eyes had seen or be so negligent as not to lay to heart the great goodness of the Lord Against which Moses here gives them this Caution Only take heed to thy self and keep thy soul diligently c. And truly this is the only thing that we have to fear Who are a People also saved by the Lord a People who have seen his wonderful works and may rationally hope to see further effects of his Almighty Mercy if we be not so senslesly careless as to let the Memory of what God hath done for us slip out of our Minds and leave no impressions upon our Hearts Which would load us with so foul a Guilt that God might justly abandon us to all the Evils from which he hath delivered us and let us perish even after we have been saved by his special Providence I cannot therefore do you better service than to press upon you this weighty Admonition of Moses the man of God as the most certain means of our preservation and the best expression of our gratitude Only take heed to thy self and keep thy soul diligently lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen and lest they depart out of thy heart all the days of thy life In which words it is easy to observe two things First it is here too plainly supposed that men are very apt to forget even those Wonderful works which they have seen with their own eyes Otherwise there would have been no need of such great Caution as is here given to the Jews to take heed and not only take heed but to keep their Soul nay to keep it diligently lest they should forget what their eyes had seen For without heed and diligent heed and careful observance of themselves he knew these things would soon slip out of their thoughts and be no more remembred And therefore Secondly we ought to use our most serious indeavours not to forget them no not to forget them as long as we live But to preserve the remembrance of them to the very end of our days For so it follows in the last clause lest they depart out of thy heart all the days of thy life Which being the Principal thing here intended it is fit I should begin with that and reserve the supposal as an argument to inforce this duty if I have time for it Therefore we ought to take care to keep in mind the things which our eyes have seen because we are very prone to forget them Now when he bids us take heed lest we forget them it is as much as if he had charged us to remember them And to remember them is not barely to call them to mind or to keep them in mind but to have our hearts also duly affected with them For in the Holy language all such words as this which belong to the mind include the Affections and such Actions also as are agreeable to such Affections To omit the many instances there are of this in the Book of God Moses himself here gives us this Explication of his own words When he charges the Israelites to take heed lest the things they had seen did depart out of their heart all the days of their life There in the heart they were to preserve such an affectionate remembrance of them as never to forget to perform the duties unto which they were obliged by such wonderful works as God had done to engage them to him Now this being premised I have nothing to do but to consider First What the things were that their eyes had seen 2 And then Secondly I shall be your Remembrancer by setting before you a few of the things that our eyes likewise have beheld 3. And Lastly shew you what suitable Affections ought to be in our hearts and what behaviour becomes those or how they ought to live who have seen such things 1. As for the First of these the things which the Israelites had seen were of two sorts For they had been in very great dangers and they had received as great Deliverances Both of these are so well known that I need but briefly touch them Nothing is more famous in their Story then the Affliction which they suffered a long time in the land of Aegypt Where they groaned under such heavy burdens that when God sent a Deliverer to them they hearkned not unto him for anguish of Spirit and for cruel bondage VI. Exod. 9. that is they were to oppressed they could not think much less hope for any relief From which they were no sooner redeemed but they fell into such dismal straits at the red Sea that they utterly despaired of safety And when they had passed that danger Amalek came forth with all his power to oppose their passage through the Wilderness Where they were
