his_o bondage_n and_o therefore_o make_v haste_n out_o of_o it_o but_o god_n people_n shall_v not_o need_v to_o make_v such_o haste_n their_o seasonable_a deliverance_n be_v sure_a enough_o many_o other_o scripture_n speak_v this_o truth_n as_o plain_o but_o that_o which_o i_o chief_o aim_v at_o for_o clear_n this_o doctrine_n be_v the_o discuss_n of_o two_o question_n the_o one_o be_v 1._o when_o the_o lord_n use_v to_o do_v this_o 2._o how_o he_o do_v it_o for_o the_o first_o that_o he_o will_v deliver_v his_o people_n from_o all_o their_o oppressor_n be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o when_o the_o lord_n will_v do_v it_o that_o be_v the_o time_n that_o every_o sad_a soul_n people_n cry_v after_o how_o long_a lord_n holy_a and_o true_a do_v thou_o not_o avenge_v we_o or_o when_o lord_n shall_v it_o be_v i_o answer_v though_o it_o be_v not_o for_o we_o to_o search_v curious_o into_o the_o time_n and_o season_n that_o the_o father_n keep_v in_o his_o own_o bosom_n first_o as_o you_o have_v it_o in_o act_n 1._o 7._o yet_o the_o lord_n have_v leave_v very_o comfortable_a prognostic_n in_o his_o word_n whereby_o we_o may_v guess_v when_o the_o time_n of_o the_o deliverance_n of_o god_n time_n people_n from_o their_o bondage_n be_v even_o at_o hand_n certain_o it_o will_v come_v in_o the_o best_a time_n in_o the_o fit_a time_n but_o when_o that_o time_n do_v appropinquate_fw-la draw_v nigh_o you_o shall_v find_v it_o clear_v in_o the_o word_n by_o these_o three_o thing_n the_o approach_v one_o be_v the_o lord_n ordinary_o make_v that_o the_o time_n of_o his_o break_v high_a the_o power_n of_o the_o enemy_n of_o his_o church_n when_o they_o be_v fill_v most_o with_o rage_n and_o fury_n against_o the_o church_n when_o they_o breathe_v out_o nothing_o but_o slaughter_n and_o threaten_n against_o they_o blaspheme_v not_o only_o they_o but_o their_o god_n and_o their_o profession_n and_o their_o way_n when_o they_o be_v rise_v up_o to_o that_o height_n that_o their_o sin_n be_v full_a against_o god_n and_o their_o rage_n against_o god_n people_n that_o be_v the_o time_n when_o the_o lord_n sudden_o use_v to_o break_v out_o and_o crush_v his_o enemy_n i_o may_v give_v you_o many_o example_n of_o this_o in_o the_o book_n of_o god_n take_v that_o expression_n in_o jeremiah_n 30._o 17._o 17._o for_o one_o the_o lord_n will_v speedy_o come_v to_o deliver_v his_o people_n but_o why_o even_o because_o they_o say_v this_o be_v zion_n who_o no_o man_n cry_v for_o zion_n be_v then_o a_o scorn_a company_n i_o will_v therefore_o say_v he_o restore_v heal_v to_o they_o therefore_o will_v he_o come_v because_o the_o enemy_n say_v this_o be_v zion_n that_o nobody_o care_v for_o every_o one_o can_v tread_v it_o under_o foot_n so_o likewise_o ezek._n 25._o 3._o because_o the_o ammonite_n say_v aha_o against_o his_o sanctuary_n against_o the_o land_n of_o israel_n and_o against_o the_o house_n of_o judah_n when_o they_o go_v into_o captivity_n behold_v i_o will_v therefore_o deliver_v they_o etc._n etc._n and_o ezek._n 28._o 67._o because_o the_o king_n of_o tyrus_n have_v set_v his_o heart_n as_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n therefore_o god_n will_v bring_v enemy_n upon_o he_o what_o need_v i_o multiply_v example_n you_o shall_v find_v it_o be_v thus_o to_o all_o the_o people_n that_o ever_o have_v god_n people_n under_o they_o go_v from_o egypt_n to_o those_o of_o syria_n palestina_n to_o the_o assyrian_n the_o babylonian_n the_o grecian_n the_o roman_n you_o shall_v find_v in_o they_o all_o that_o when_o their_o rage_n be_v most_o furious_a against_o god_n people_n then_o be_v the_o time_n near_o that_o god_n use_v to_o break_v they_o and_o deliver_v his_o people_n from_o they_o second_o another_o time_n be_v when_o the_o lord_n by_o the_o thresh_n of_o their_o enemy_n 2._o have_v purge_v the_o chaff_n out_o of_o his_o people_n when_o the_o lord_n favour_n have_v by_o deliver_v his_o people_n up_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o wicked_a man_n wrought_v in_o their_o heart_n a_o spirit_n of_o repentance_n a_o spirit_n of_o humiliation_n a_o spirit_n of_o prayer_n a_o spirit_n of_o look_v unto_o god_n the_o lord_n never_o stay_v long_o before_o he_o do_v deliver_v they_o i_o beseech_v you_o search_v the_o scripture_n and_o you_o will_v find_v that_o the_o morning_n star_n be_v not_o a_o more_o infallible_a argument_n of_o the_o day_n of_o the_o sun_n approach_n or_o rise_n than_o a_o spirit_n of_o humiliation_n and_o prayer_n power_v upon_o god_n people_n be_v a_o argument_n of_o their_o deliverance_n at_o hand_n the_o burden_n of_o hadrach_n and_o damasous_n tyre_n and_o sidon_n ruin_n etc._n to_o they_o be_v prophesy_v of_o in_o the_o 9_o of_o zachariah_n but_o when_o shall_v it_o be_v when_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o tribe_n be_v towards_o the_o lord_n when_o god_n put_v it_o into_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o people_n to_o look_v to_o god_n to_o humble_v themselves_o and_o seek_v his_o favour_n the_o lord_n be_v then_o at_o hand_n to_o ruin_v their_o enemy_n and_o deliver_v they_o so_o also_o in_o the_o 102._o psalm_n verse_n 13._o thou_o 13._o shall_v arise_v and_o have_v mercy_n upon_o zion_n mark_v the_o phrase_n thou_o shall_v arise_v it_o be_v somewhat_o akin_a to_o that_o place_n of_o isaiah_n where_o the_o lord_n say_v ask_v i_o of_o thing_n to_o come_v and_o concerning_o my_o son_n and_o daughter_n command_v you_o i_o so_o the_o people_n of_o god_n come_v in_o thou_o shall_v arise_v and_o have_v mercy_n why_o what_o make_v they_o so_o confident_a the_o set_a time_n be_v come_v the_o time_n of_o deliverance_n of_o zion_n be_v come_v even_o the_o set_a time_n be_v come_v how_o can_v they_o tell_v that_o thy_o servant_n mourn_v over_o the_o dust_n of_o it_o thy_o servant_n be_v compassionate_a they_o pity_v they_o pour_v out_o their_o soul_n and_o mourn_v to_o god_n and_o out_o of_o this_o the_o church_n can_v set_v down_o the_o conclusion_n the_o set_a time_n be_v come_v for_o it_o when_o the_o lord_n have_v prepare_v his_o people_n and_o humble_v they_o and_o then_o three_o when_o he_o have_v break_v all_o other_o mean_n of_o deliverance_n so_o that_o they_o see_v no_o hope_n or_o mean_n of_o help_n in_o any_o other_o 3._o the_o heart_n of_o man_n can_v think_v how_o prone_a even_o god_n off_o servant_n be_v to_o rely_v upon_o other_o crutch_n beside_o god_n and_o to_o catch_v as_o sink_a man_n at_o every_o twig_n and_o every_o bulrush_n but_o when_o the_o lord_n have_v break_v all_o their_o probability_n and_o expectation_n elsewhere_o that_o there_o be_v none_o shut_v up_o nor_o none_o leave_v than_o do_v the_o lord_n use_v to_o come_v himself_o and_o rescue_v his_o people_n and_o break_v those_o that_o think_v to_o swallow_v they_o up_o of_o this_o you_o may_v please_v to_o take_v two_o notable_a instance_n the_o one_o be_v a_o prophecy_n in_o deuteronomy_n 32._o 36._o 35._o the_o lord_n have_v say_v how_o he_o will_v scatter_v his_o people_n but_o say_v he_o when_o he_o see_v that_o their_o strength_n be_v all_o go_v that_o there_o be_v none_o shut_v up_o nor_o none_o leave_v that_o be_v none_o to_o be_v a_o help_n there_o be_v enough_o of_o god_n people_n leave_v but_o not_o any_o one_o that_o can_v work_v any_o deliverance_n for_o they_o what_o then_o then_o do_v the_o lord_n repent_v concerning_o his_o servant_n and_o his_o own_o arm_n deliver_v they_o you_o have_v it_o yet_o rather_o more_o clear_o in_o isaiah_n 59_o 16._o the_o word_n be_v these_o the_o lord_n look_v and_o there_o be_v no_o man_n and_o wonder_v that_o 16._o there_o be_v no_o intercessor_n the_o lord_n can_v find_v none_o that_o can_v speak_v for_o they_o none_o that_o can_v act_v for_o they_o when_o god_n see_v that_o than_o his_o own_o arm_n will_v do_v it_o he_o then_o put_v on_o his_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n and_o array_v himself_o with_o his_o zeal_n like_o a_o robe_n and_o his_o own_o arm_n do_v it_o that_o they_o may_v fear_v the_o name_n of_o god_n from_o the_o rise_n of_o the_o sun_n to_o the_o set_n of_o it_o and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o lord_n use_v to_o come_v in_o at_o such_o a_o time_n because_o he_o have_v the_o more_o glory_n this_o for_o the_o time_n when_o god_n use_v to_o break_v the_o yoke_n of_o his_o people_n that_o lie_v upon_o they_o when_o the_o enemy_n be_v at_o high_a when_o he_o have_v humble_v and_o prepare_v his_o people_n and_o when_o all_o other_o help_n do_v fail_v they_o than_o the_o lord_n do_v it_o but_o then_o in_o the_o next_o place_n how_o do_v he_o do_v it_o after_o what_o manner_n do_v he_o use_v to_o deliver_v they_o people_n i_o answer_v first_o in_o general_a which_o way_n soever_o the_o

for_o you_o to_o hear_v of_o it_o from_o the_o minister_n mouth_n for_o when_o we_o lie_v low_a and_o submit_v and_o say_v god_n have_v walk_v contrary_a to_o we_o because_o we_o have_v walk_v contrary_a to_o he_o than_o the_o lord_n will_v quick_o turn_v thing_n about_o and_o be_v gracious_a to_o we_o that_o be_v one_o let_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n wherein_o they_o have_v miscarry_v be_v sensible_a of_o it_o humble_v and_o abase_v for_o it_o in_o god_n sight_n and_o second_o let_v our_o conversation_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v be_v according_a 2._o to_o the_o principle_n

the_o hinge_n that_o carry_v we_o and_o the_o way_n wherein_o we_o walk_v then_o what_o be_v they_o be_v they_o not_o the_o way_n of_o prayer_n and_o the_o way_n of_o christian_a love_n and_o a_o

that_o fear_v god_n but_o frequent_o in_o public_a and_o private_a there_o be_v knock_v at_o heaven_n gate_n and_o wrestle_v with_o god_n and_o be_v there_o not_o a_o spirit_n of_o love_n among_o

be_v they_o not_o all_o vigorous_a and_o active_a lay_v out_o all_o their_o strength_n and_o all_o their_o talent_n when_o the_o enemy_n be_v not_o so_o active_a as_o now_o which_o diligence_n many_o have_v give_v over_o and_o the_o enemy_n have_v take_v up_o now_o let_v we_o endeavour_v that_o the_o same_o spirit_n may_v be_v revive_v among_o god_n people_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v let_v

neither_o good_a from_o the_o best_a of_o man_n nor_o evil_a from_o the_o worst_a of_o man_n but_o to_o resolve_v that_o the_o lord_n can_v and_o will_v himself_o do_v his_o own_o work_n and_o be_v

the_o lord_n do_v sometime_o leave_v his_o own_o people_n to_o be_v under_o the_o tyranny_n of_o they_o that_o hate_v they_o i_o say_v 8._o his_o own_o people_n for_o this_o be_v emanuels_n land_n

all_o judgement_n one_o of_o the_o most_o terrible_a and_o uncomfortable_a that_o ever_o a_o people_n can_v be_v expose_v to_o to_o have_v those_o that_o hate_v they_o to_o tyrannize_v over_o they_o

easy_o appear_v to_o be_v one_o 11._o of_o the_o terrible_a judgement_n of_o all_o because_o it_o be_v a_o misery_n that_o be_v opposite_a and_o contrary_a to_o the_o great_a mercy_n that_o can_v be_v
