or_o a_o people_n bring_v from_o such_o a_o estate_n free_a grace_n be_v ever_o most_o value_v by_o such_o people_n and_o if_o you_o look_v all_o the_o scripture_n over_o you_o will_v find_v that_o

this_o only_o give_v i_o leave_v before_o i_o pass_v from_o it_o to_o make_v a_o short_a application_n of_o it_o to_o ourselves_o in_o these_o two_o particular_n eye_n first_o that_o hence_o we_o may_v certain_o learn_v one_o cause_n why_o our_o calamity_n do_v continue_v thus_o long_o why_o still_o we_o be_v bring_v low_a and_o low_a why_o though_o we_o be_v lift_v up_o one_o day_n or_o one_o

that_o we_o may_v praise_v he_o when_o we_o be_v deliver_v i_o be_o persuade_v god_n do_v intend_v to_o have_v a_o people_n here_o in_o england_n that_o shall_v be_v for_o his_o praise_n and_o we_o do_v not_o yet_o look_v upon_o ourselves_o as_o a_o people_n out_o of_o mere_a mercy_n bring_v from_o nothing_o in_o the_o time_n of_o our_o calamity_n we_o seek_v he_o and_o say_v he_o only_o be_v our_o rock_n and_o our_o salvation_n but_o it_o be_v too_o evident_a that_o the_o pride_n of_o our_o nation_n be_v not_o yet_o lay_v low_a still_o our_o arm_n of_o flesh_n be_v prone_a to_o be_v exalt_v it_o be_v with_o we_o just_a as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o israelite_n when_o god_n bring_v they_o out_o of_o egypt_n he_o make_v account_n that_o he_o have_v do_v enough_o to_o make_v they_o know_v their_o dependence_n upon_o he_o that_o they_o be_v create_v as_o out_o of_o nothing_o by_o such_o a_o miraculous_a break_v the_o yoke_n of_o their_o bondage_n and_o bring_v they_o through_o

not_o learn_v in_o one_o year_n god_n make_v they_o learn_v in_o forty_o year_n and_o so_o moses_n tell_v they_o deut._n 8._o 23._o that_o the_o lord_n lead_v they_o forty_o year_n in_o the_o

we_o look_v upon_o ourselves_o as_o a_o forlorn_a nation_n as_o a_o people_n void_a of_o wealth_n of_o counsel_n of_o strength_n of_o ability_n to_o carry_v on_o our_o work_n and_o will_v lie_v at_o

to_o prove_v insolent_a this_o among_o man_n be_v intolerable_a believe_v it_o it_o be_v much_o more_o with_o god_n when_o god_n shall_v take_v a_o people_n as_o from_o a_o dunghill_n from_o a_o
