A27628	A solemn perswasion to most earnest prayer for the revival of the work of God bringing forth the kingdom of Christ, whenever it appears declining under his indignation, whether in our own souls, in the nation to which we belong, in the churches of Christ throughout : upon occasion of the late stroke of divine displeasure in the death of the Queen of so blessed remembrance / by T. Beverley.	Beverley, Thomas.	1695 (1695)	Wing B2178; ESTC R18234	20,206	36

in_o on_o such_o occasion_n we_o need_v not_o stand_v upon_o the_o critical_a middle_n of_o year_n although_o the_o very_a restoration_n by_o cyrus_n after_o that_o captivity_n in_o babylon_n be_v a_o most_o remarkable_a middle_n of_o time_n between_o the_o first_o creation_n and_o eternity_n yet_o in_o any_o time_n wherein_o god_n have_v seem_v to_o forget_v his_o great_a work_n for_o his_o kingdom_n or_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n in_o delay_n of_o it_o we_o may_v thus_o cry_v out_o to_o he_o in_o general_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o year_n revive_v thy_o work_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o year_n make_v know_v and_o so_o proportionable_o in_o our_o private_a case_n when_o we_o find_v any_o decline_a and_o go_v down_o of_o our_o hope_n in_o the_o salvation_n of_o god_n in_o our_o own_o soul_n the_o grace_n of_o christ_n retire_v from_o we_o and_o his_o spirit_n withdraw_v from_o we_o or_o when_o in_o the_o public_a state_n of_o the_o nation_n the_o glory_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v under_o any_o eclipse_n the_o good_a state_n of_o the_o government_n of_o a_o nation_n with_o relation_n to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n be_v sink_v or_o lose_v any_o of_o the_o pillar_n of_o it_o or_o when_o any_o sad_a providence_n be_v upon_o ourselves_o in_o particular_a that_o look_v sad_a upon_o we_o as_o deprive_v we_o of_o the_o comfortable_a aspect_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n we_o may_v cry_v out_o to_o god_n for_o a_o revival_n a_o remember_v mercy_n even_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o wrath_n a_o make_v know_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o year_n and_o thus_o our_o late_a sad_a providence_n which_o show_v the_o fitness_n of_o the_o text_n to_o this_o occasion_n three_o thing_n therefore_o i_o propose_v in_o this_o discourse_n to_o speak_v of_o first_o of_o the_o great_a and_o earnest_a intercession_n of_o the_o prophet_n habakkuk_n as_o it_o may_v be_v take_v up_o and_o make_v use_n of_o by_o every_o christian_a in_o secret_a in_o relation_n to_o his_o own_o soul_n and_o the_o inward_a state_n of_o it_o or_o to_o his_o outward_a condition_n and_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n towards_o he_o in_o that_o or_o with_o respect_n to_o his_o family_n and_o near_a relation_n and_o all_o these_o with_o a_o look_n towards_o and_o subordination_n to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n and_o herein_o i_o shall_v consider_v all_o these_o more_o strict_o when_o they_o be_v at_o any_o time_n in_o a_o plunge_n and_o sink_v of_o condition_n under_o any_o eclipse_n or_o cloud_n of_o providence_n then_o in_o such_o a_o strait_a we_o may_v go_v to_o god_n cry_v out_o oh_o lord_n revive_v thy_o work_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o year_n make_v know_v in_o wrath_n remember_v mercy_n second_o i_o will_v take_v into_o consideration_n the_o more_o public_a state_n of_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n that_o keep_v his_o command_n of_o his_o witness_n that_o hold_v the_o testimony_n of_o jesus_n when_o they_o be_v in_o sackcloth_n and_o even_o lie_v dead_a in_o any_o of_o the_o street_n of_o the_o great_a city_n or_o when_o the_o church_n be_v in_o the_o wilderness_n how_o earnest_a we_o shall_v be_v with_o god_n to_o revive_v his_o work_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o year_n to_o make_v know_v and_o in_o wrath_n to_o remember_v mercy_n in_o the_o three_o place_n i_o shall_v apply_v it_o particular_o to_o the_o late_a providence_n of_o god_n upon_o the_o nation_n in_o which_o he_o seem_v as_o it_o be_v to_o have_v reverse_v a_o late_a gracious_a dispensation_n of_o that_o providence_n to_o this_o nation_n to_o have_v reverse_v it_o in_o such_o a_o part_n in_o such_o a_o principal_a part_n of_o it_o by_o the_o removal_n of_o the_o queen_n and_o so_o i_o shall_v close_v with_o application_n 1._o the_o first_o thing_n that_o i_o will_v propose_v be_v this_o there_o be_v many_o sad_a and_o dark_a vale_n of_o providence_n and_o as_o to_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n in_o every_o particular_a christian_n soul_n there_o be_v many_o time_n when_o we_o seem_v to_o languish_v in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n when_o our_o heart_n grow_v very_o vain_a very_o worldly_a when_o we_o be_v ready_a as_o it_o be_v to_o die_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o order_n to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n they_o be_v ready_a to_o die_v as_o we_o find_v rev._n 3_o concern_v the_o church_n of_o sardis_n thou_o have_v a_o name_n that_o thou_o live_v and_o be_v dead_a be_v watchful_a and_o slrengthen_v the_o thing_n which_o remain_v that_o be_v ready_a to_o die_v for_o i_o have_v not_o find_v thy_o work_n fill_v up_o before_o god_n o_o how_o often_o do_v we_o find_v that_o our_o soul_n be_v ready_a to_o lose_v their_o first_o love_n that_o they_o be_v go_v backward_o that_o they_o be_v go_v downward_o in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n certain_o every_o one_o of_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o fear_v and_o to_o suspect_v that_o such_o a_o time_n have_v be_v upon_o we_o or_o that_o it_o may_v come_v upon_o we_o david_n be_v very_o sensible_a of_o

the_o gracious_a motion_n and_o assistance_n of_o his_o spirit_n what_o a_o dreadful_a complaint_n be_v that_o that_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n make_v in_o isaiah_n 63._o 17._o o_o lord_n why_o have_v thou_o make_v we_o to_o err_v from_o thy_o way_n and_o harden_v our_o heart_n from_o thy_o fear_n return_v for_o thy_o servant_n sake_n how_o often_o be_v it_o that_o our_o soul_n have_v

and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o as_o habakkuk_n here_o say_v revive_v thy_o work_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o year_n there_o be_v continuance_n say_v he_o in_o thy_o way_n and_o we_o shall_v be_v
