who then deliver'd us out of them Who indeed but he whose arm is still as long as ever whose power and will to save is still the same Let us not fear then neither be dismay'd but in our greatest dangers still confide in him that hath redeem'd us and say as David did upon a like occasion 1 Sam. 17.37 The Lord that deliver'd our Fore-fathers from the Gunpowder Plot and our selves from another that would as certainly tho' not so suddenly have prov'd fatal to us shall deliver us likewise from the snares now laid for us To him then let us commit our cause Psal 33.18 Let us hope in his mercy and his eye will be upon us Psal 37.5 let us trust also in him and he shall bring it to pass 3. It should likewise encourage us to make our earnest Prayers to God for help in time of need There is no motive which can so powerfully engage Men to seek unto God as a firm beleif that they shall obtain what they seek for that they shall ask and have And this we have abundant reason to believe concerning our selves from those many favourable and gracious Answers which God hath given to our prayers hitherto Psal 61.2 3. From the end of the earth saith David unto God will I cry unto thee when my heart is overwhelm'd for thou hast been a shelter for me and a strong Tower from the enemy God has been a shelter to us likewise therefore let us cry unto him in the time of trouble More especially at this time when the devices of our enemies are many and their strength great against us let us intreat him to be our deliverer Psal 83. Keep not thou silence O God v. 1 2 3 4. hold not thy peace and be not still O God For lo thine enemies make a tumult and they that hate thee have lift up the head They have taken crafty counsel against thy people and consulted against thy hidden ones They have said come and let us cut them off from being a Nation that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance But O Lord Psal 25.6 Remember thy tender mercies and thy loving kindnesses which have been ever of old and give not thy Scepter unto them that be nothing Esther 14.11 and let them not laugh at our fall but turn their devices upon themselves and make him an example that hath begun this against us 4. And lastly Since God hath done such wonderful things for us we must be sure not to forget to glorifie him This he has plainly told us he expect from us I will deliver thee saith he and thou shalt Glorifie me Psal 50.15 Glorifie him by acknowledging his Salvation by confessing that our own arm did not save us but his right hand and his arm Psal 44 3● and the light of his countenance because he had a favour unto us Glorifie him by rejoycing in it We will rejoyce in his Salvation because the Heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made Psal 9.14.15 in the net which they hid is their own foot taken Glorifie him by declaring his works Ps 45.11 12. by telling the people of his doings by speaking of the glory of his Kingdom and talking of his power by making known to the sons of Men his mighty acts and the glorious Majesty of his Kingdom Glorifie him Ps 26.7 by having his praise continually in our mouths by declaring his name unto our brethren by praising him especially in the midst of the great congregation and by publishing all his wondrous works with the voice of thanksgiving But above all Glorifie him by our lives and conversations by behaving our selves as becometh those whom the Lord hath redeem'd and deliver'd from the hand of the enemy This this is that sacrifice with which God is well pleased for behold to obey and to do justice is better and more acceptable to him than sacrifice 1 S●m 15.23 Prov. 2● 3 Let this then be our way of Glorifying God Let us be careful not only to honour him with our lips but also to order our Conversation aright that so we may both praise him worthily for past Deliverances and engage him to shew us his salvation in the times to come If we do this we may safely defie all the strength and cunning of our enemies and apply those words of God to them which he spake by the mouth of his Holy Prophet Isaiah Ch. 8. v. 9 10. Associate your selves O ye people and ye shall be broken in pieces and give ear all ye of far Countreys Gird your selves and ye shall be broken to pieces Gird your selves and ye shall be broken to pieces Take counsel together and it shall come to naught Speak the word and it shall not stand for God is with us THE END
