honour_n say_v god_n to_o moses_n upon_o pharaoh_n and_o upon_o all_o his_o host_n this_o he_o do_v when_o he_o overthrow_v they_o in_o the_o red_a sea_n in_o so_o surprise_v and_o observable_a a_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 its_o authority_n and_o obligation_n now_o beside_o that_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n which_o we_o see_v daily_o with_o our_o eye_n be_v a_o sufficient_a evidence_n of_o the_o almighty_a power_n 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 the_o view_n of_o man_n than_o the_o issue_n and_o success_n of_o battle_n a_o great_a deal_n depend_v upon_o sudden_a and_o unforeseen_a and_o unavoidable_a accident_n occasion_v many_o time_n by_o

among_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n so_o than_o if_o the_o battle_n be_v not_o always_o to_o the_o strong_a but_o as_o it_o seem_v good_a to_o he_o who_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o decide_v this_o

man_n may_v confident_o apply_v themselves_o to_o god_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o his_o honour_n and_o for_o his_o holy_a name_n for_o as_o he_o be_v the_o common_a father_n of_o mankind_n it_o be_v

also_o appetite_n and_o inclination_n in_o man_n to_o that_o purpose_n we_o may_v

reasonable_o thence_o infer_v that_o it_o be_v very_o disagreeable_a to_o the_o end_n of_o government_n that_o they_o who_o be_v unite_v for_o the_o sake_n of_o preservation_n shall_v be_v devour_v and_o consume_v by_o one_o another_o that_o government_n shall_v be_v make_v a_o instrument_n of_o oppression_n and_o that_o one_o man_n shall_v ruin_v million_o arbitrary_o and_o wanton_o against_o the_o state_v measure_n of_o justice_n and_o the_o bound_n of_o common_a humanity_n we_o can_v therefore_o but_o conceive_v thus_o worthy_o of_o god_n that_o he_o who_o have_v plant_v in_o man_n such_o appetite_n of_o preservation_n and_o allow_v such_o union_n and_o confederacy_n will_v have_v compassion_n upon_o the_o oppress_a and_o that_o he_o will_v in_o his_o own_o way_n and_o in_o his_o own_o time_n punish_v the_o oppressor_n who_o do_v not_o rule_v but_o ravage_n who_o do_v not_o feed_v but_o worry_v and_o devour_v or_o if_o we_o rather_o approve_v the_o notion_n of_o other_o who_o find_v government_n upon_o divine_a institution_n and_o paternal_a authority_n our_o common_a consanguinity_n and_o natural_a relation_n will_v teach_v we_o that_o it_o be_v unreasonable_a and_o unnatural_a to_o destroy_v and_o prey_v upon_o one_o another_o for_o though_o parent_n have_v a_o superiority_n not_o only_o by_o nature_n but_o by_o divine_a appointment_n and_o so_o likewise_o the_o father_n of_o many_o family_n and_o great_a collection_n and_o society_n of_o man_n it_o be_v only_o a_o superiority_n in_o order_n to_o the_o education_n and_o discipline_n and_o good_a government_n of_o inferior_n they_o have_v no_o authority_n to_o destroy_v and_o oppress_v at_o pleasure_n for_o paternal_a authority_n imply_v care_n and_o tenderness_n and_o love_n and_o provision_n which_o be_v inconstent_n with_o tyranny_n and_o cruelty_n so_o that_o we_o may_v infer_v from_o this_o notion_n of_o government_n that_o god_n be_v much_o displease_v with_o those_o who_o mis-use_a this_o fatherly_a power_n if_o it_o overflow_v its_o bank_n it_o be_v not_o a_o river_n that_o fructify_v and_o cherish_v as_o it_o slide_v smooth_o and_o gentle_o but_o a_o torrent_n and_o inundation_n that_o spoil_n and_o consume_v all_o where_o it_o take_v its_o course_n in_o this_o case_n god_n be_v concern_v for_o his_o own_o honour_n to_o interpose_v and_o to_o rebuke_v these_o swell_a wave_n and_o the_o oppress_a may_v very_o proper_o apply_v themselves_o to_o he_o as_o their_o common_a father_n and_o humble_o beg_v of_o he_o to_o deliver_v they_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o such_o man_n who_o be_v his_o minister_n indeed_o but_o misuse_v their_o ministry_n and_o imply_v it_o not_o to_o help_v and_o defend_v but_o to_o ruin_v and_o devour_v but_o beside_o that_o this_o idea_n of_o god_n and_o these_o notion_n of_o his_o government_n of_o the_o world_n may_v convince_v we_o that_o it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o his_o will_n and_o for_o the_o honour_n of_o his_o justice_n and_o his_o fatherly_a love_n and_o compassion_n to_o relieve_v the_o injure_v and_o oppress_v he_o have_v also_o declare_v the_o same_o by_o his_o messenger_n and_o prophet_n in_o his_o holy_a word_n and_o
