shame that hated us In God we boast all the Day long and praise his Name for ever Psal 33.16 There is no King sav'd by the multitude of his Host a mighty Man is not delivered by much strength Psal 127.2 Except the Lord keep the City the Watchman waketh but in vain Eccles 9.11 The Race is not to the swift nor the Battle to the strong 1 Sam. 2.9 In his own might shall no Man be strong The Eyes of King Jehosaphat and of all Judah were in their great exigency and necessity chiefly and principally upon God for though his Army was great and numerous yet when the Children of Moab Ammon and Mount Seir came against him he proclaimed a Fast and cried unto the Lord 2 Chron. 20.12 O our God we have no strength in us to stand before this great Multitude that cometh against us neither do we know what to do but our Eyes are upon Thee Though Asa had an Army consisting of no less than Five Hundred and Fourscore Thousand Men all of them Men of Valour yet he look'd upon them as no prop for Trust as nothing without God and therefore cry'd unto the Lord his God and said 2 Chron. 14.8.11 Lord it is nothing with Thee to help with many or with no power help us O Lord our God for we rest in Thee and in thy Name are we come against this multitude O Lord thou art our God let not Man prevail against Thee When David was in the Wilderness of Ziph Saul sought him every day But what was the reason that he found him not 1 Sam. 23.14 The Lord delivered him not into his hands Nihil sine Deo God is all in all He is our Sun and Shield our strong Rock and Tower of Defence and mighty Deliverer Holy David ascribes all his Deliverances to the light of his Countenance and the saving strength of his right hand 'T is He that gives Victory unto Kings Prov. 21.1 The King's Heart and his Breath and all his ways are in his hand Jud. 7. the Sword of the Lord and Gideon is spoken of as but one two-handed Sword 'T is Gideon that strikes and 't is the Lord that gives the Blessing Psal 118.8,9 It is better to trust in the Lord than to put any Confidence in Man it is better to trust in the Lord than to put any confidence in Princes Psal 20.7 some put their trust in Chariots and some in Horses but we will remember the Name of the Lord our God When Doeg the Edomite regarded not God nor sought to strengthen himself by his favour David prophesied his destruction Psal 52. God shall destroy them for ever he shall take thee away pluck thee out of thy dwelling-place and root thee out of the Land of the Living Loe this is the Man that made not God his strength but trusted in the abundance of his Riches and strengthned himself in his Wickedness When that proud King Nebuchadnezzar was shaking his Plumes and triumphing in the great Babel of his own building Dan. 4. Is not this Great Babel that I have built for the House of the Kingdom by the might of my power and for the honour of my Majesty As he was thus vaunting and magnifying himself God drove him from Men and turn'd him to grass among the Beasts When Sennacherib had encamped against Jerusalem and was attributing his Success to his own Strength and Wisdom see how God dealt with him 2 K. 19.28 He put a hook into his Nose and a bridle into his lips and turn'd him back the same way he came And when Herod took that glory to himself which was due to God Acts 2.23 The Angel of the Lord smote him and he was eaten up of Worms And 't is to be hoped that God has put a stop to the bloody rage and nip'd the proud insolent and ambitious Designs of the French King who by treachery and policy had set great projects on foot to overthrow our Religion and bring us under his slavish and tyrannical yoak Exod. 13.21 It was not Moses but God that brought the Children of Israel out of the Land of Egypt neither was it our own Arm and Strength that reduced the Town and Castle of Namur but God's Arm Power and Goodness going along with the Forces of his Majesty and his Allies that preserved our King and gave us the Victory for which we this day rejoyce Psal 62.8 Trust in Him at all times ye people God is a refuge But Secondly I proceed to shew what some of those Great Things are which the Lord hath done for us already and I hope they will pass for Great Things whether some Men will or no.
