Ingage the Name of God more and more in the time of danger And seeing for his own Names sake he hath saved you and your Fathers and Children and Families as it is this day Come now and let us Exalt his Name together The Name of God is Exalted when ye speak highly of his Power Faithfulnesse Mercy free love and grace and of all his Attributes A man Exalts his Name when he ventures upon Great things and Hard things even Lyons in his way upon confidence on the Name of God as David against Goliah The Name of God is Exalted when men yeeld up their Resolutions and Ingagements and that Presently upon the least discovery of Dishonour that may come thereby to this Name of God We Exalt the Name of God when we labour to bear up those Ordinances Waies and Truths of God which the world Decries There is a Verball and there is a Reall Exalting of Gods Name it s not the Verball but the Reall that God expecteth And seeing he saveth us and all Ours hitherto for his own Names sake Why should we not all joyn together in Exalting his Name Oh! you that are Parents call upon your Children to Exalt his Name You that are Governours and Masters call upon your Servants to Exalt his Name Tel them how he hath saved us with a Notwithstanding for his own Names sake and therefore Exalt his Name This is the fift Duty I should now tel you in the Next place That if God doth save us with a Notwithstanding then we should Serve him with a Notwithstanding all Opposition Notwithstanding all Discouragements that we should Believe and Trust in him Notwithstanding all our Fears and Dangers But I hasten to the Next Doctrine which is this Doct. 2 When God doth save his people with a Notwithstanding he doth then leave such Marks and Characters of his Infinite Power upon their Deliverance to Salvation that he may be Fully Clearly Plainly known to the Sons of men Ye shall observe therefore That when God promised any great Deliverance to his people in the time of the Prophets he frequently addeth these words Then shall ye know that I am the Lord or Then shall ye know that I am Jehovah Gods Infinite and Almighty Power is never more seen or legible then when he works in a way of free love And therefore if ye look into the 14. Numb you find that when Moses pleaded with God to pardon and passe by the iniquity of his people to shew forth his grace and love to them he doth then implore and call in the Power the Great Power of God ver 17. it 's said He made the Heavens by his Power but here Great Power is used and expressed for the pardoning of Sin And in Psal 99.8 we find that his free love and Power are knit together Deus fortis condonans c. For he is not onely strong and Mercifull but he is strong in Mercy So that whensoever God doth save his people with a Notwithstanding his great Design is to make known his mighty power unto the Sons of men Quest But it wil be said now We are all convinced and perswaded that the Lord hath saved Us and Ours in a way of free love with a Notwithstanding But what Marks or Impressions of a Deity or of Infinite Power are there upon the Deliverances or Salvations that we have had Answ 1 First it 's onely God himself that can turn the Tyde Poor weak man may turne and divert the stream of a River but it 's onely God and the Infinite power of the Almighty that can turne the Tyde When the Tyde comes in we may Saile up with the Tyde or cast Anchor but none can turne the Tyde but God alone Not long since there was a full Tyde of Superstition and Prelaticall malice coming in upon all Gods people and now of late how hath this Tyde been turned Oh! the Tyde is turn'd 't is turn'd This is the Lords doing and it may be marvellous in your eyes if it be not Secondly when there are such Great things done for Gods people as the nature of the second cause will not cannot beare then the hand and arme and speciall power of God is and may be seen therein Jer. 31.22 I the Lord have created a new thing in the earth a woman shall compasse a man (g) Neque enim simpliciter Propheta hic de viro loquitur sed nominat virum robustum 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 enim sumitur a fortitudine cum igitur foeminam viro comparet non dubito quin significet Propheta Israelitas ' qui similes erant foeminis hoc est carebant viribus destituti erant omni auxilio quin dicit superiores sore hostibus suis quorum potentia poterat toti mundo terrorem incu●ere Nam 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 significat non amplecti sed obsidere saepenumero multis accipitur scripturae locis in malam partem Hostes circundederunt me Psal 118. Cum igitur noratur obsidio Scriptura hoc verbum usurpat perinde est ●●si Propheta dixisset redigent foeminae viros in angustias ita ut ipsos captivos teneant Calvin in Ierem. 31.22 'T is ordinarily understood of Christ in the womb of the Virgin Mary But as Calvin doth well observe 't is his Comment not Mine it 's not said That a woman shall compasse a man barely but a Strong one a woman shall compasse a strong one or one that is strong so the Hebrew word signifies And saies he that word which is translated Compasse signifies such a Compassing as Enemies doe use when they lay Siege to a City So Psal 118. They Compassed me about like bees It 's the same word there which is used in a Hostile way And so the meaning is thus Though O ye Israelites ye be as weak as Women and your Enemies strong yet you shal lay Siege to them and take them captive for I will create a new thing When God works Creation-wise then he puts forth his Almighty power and when a Woman or those that are weak shall lay Siege to and take the strong then his Creating hand is at work And hath it not been thus in these Great Deliverances that he hath wrought for us of late We may all say The Lord hath Created a new thing for the woman that is those that are weak have laid Siege to and taken those that are strong Here is Power legible Answ 3 Thirdly the Psalmist doth speak expresly The Lord is known by the Judgement that he executeth The wicked is snared in the work of their own hands When the wicked Plot Consult and Designe upon and against the righteous and they are so snared in their complotments as that the cause of the just and righteous is furthered by their own workings then is the Lord known then and there are the Marks Impressions Characters of a Deity upon that work And hath not the Lord led you in this way all
