neither seek nor ask after him and at the best 〈◊〉 return nothing to him again but some poor words or thoughts which bear no commensuration to those real infinite mercies which we receive from him Can a man be profitable unto God Is it any benefit to the Almighty that thou art righteous Or is it gain to him th●t thou makest thy ways perfect Lord what is man that thou art mindful of him or the son of man that thou visitest him Behold I am lesse then the least of thy mercies Now the vileness unworthines of the receiver may be another argument to set forth the greatness of the gift 3. From their Continuance The mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him He had thoughts of love to us before ever the world was made and his mercy endureth for ever till time shall be no more His favour is renued to us eve●y moment and that notwithstanding our continual provocations against him From these and the like considerations we should labour to affect our souls with wonder and thanks to quicken and raise up our hearts in offering up unto God the sacrifice of praise that we may come before his throne with Halelujahs loud voices of joy and thankfulnesse 2.

the fulnesse of Christ From whom the whole body fitly joyned together and compacted by that which every joynt supplyeth according to the effectual working in the measure of every part may increase and edifie it self in love 2. Special Intercession may be either Ordinary Occasional 1. In Ordinary or common we are to pray for the Nations uncalled whether Jewes Infidels 1. For Jewes that God would perswade Sem to dwell in the tents o● Japhet that he would not forget his old loving kindnesse to his first-borne the seed of Abraham his friend that he would raise up the Tabernacle of David which is fallen and close up the breaches thereof And make Jerusalem a praise upon the whole earth That he would do good in his good ple●sure unto Sion and build up the walls of Jerusalem that he would open their eyes to see him whom they have pierced that the merit and not the guilt of his blood may be upon them and their children 2. For the uncalled Gentiles whom he hath decreed to salvation who are without the pale of the visible Church that God would wisit them with the Day-spring from on high send forth his everlasting Gospel amongst them and bring in the fulnesse of the Gentiles and make us all one sheepfold under one shepherd according to those many promises which he hath made to this purpose Amongst the Nations that are called we are to pray more especially for them to whom we are allied by Neighbourhood League Religion c. But chiefly for those of the houshold of faith the Nations and Families that call upon his Name Let all those that put their trust in thee rejoyce let them shout for joy because thou defend●st them let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee For thou Lord wilt blesse the righteous with favou wilt thou compasse him as with a shiel● O continue thy loving kindnesse to them that know thee and thy righteousnesse to the upright in heart Let all them that seek thee rejoyce and be glad in thee let such as love thy salvation say continually The Lord be magnified Do good O Lord unto those that be good and to them that be upright in their hearts let peace be upon Israel But above any other we are to pray more especially for our own Nation the land of our nativity to which as we have a neerer relation so ought we to have a greater affection That God would pardon our crying sinnes purge out our corruptions heal our distempers that he would remove the judgements under which we suffer and prevent those which we have most justly deserved that he would continue to us the mercies we enjoy and bestow upon us the blessings we want That he would teach us to observe and understand his meanings towards us in all his publick dispensations that we may accordingly apply our selves to meet him in his wayes That he would sanctifie unto us every condition and make us wise by the example of others that we may be willing to learn righteousnesse when his judgements are abroad in the world To hear his rod and who hath appointed it as knowing that every judgement hath as well a noise to informe as a blow to correct and that if we will not amend by the sound of them upon others we shal feel the smart of them our selves· These are some of the general heads which ordinarily may be insisted upon and inlarged in our intercessions for National mercies upon occasion of any extraordinary want or judgement We ought in a more particular manner to frame our petitions according to the present condition of a people in regard of any publick necessity but chiefly in respect of those three principal judgements Warre Famine Pestilence 1. In times of Warre that he would take care for the interest of his own people and cause in the midst of all confusions That he would behold the tears of those that are oppressed and have no comforter that he would be strength to the poor and to the needy in their distresse a refuge from the storme a shadow from the heat when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storme against the wall That upon all the glory there may be a defence That he would consider their troubles and know their soules in adversity and not shut them up in the hand of their enemies That they may not any longer hear the sound of the Trumpet and the alarm of Warre That he would remove that judgment from them and let them not fall into the hands of men whose mercies are cruel He can make warre to cease in all the world breaking the bowe and cutting the spear in sunder And he hath promised a time when men shall beat their swords into plow-shares and their spears into pruning-hooks when Nation shall not lift up sword against Nation neither shall they learn Warre any more He is the great Peace-maker the Prince of peace who did finde out away hidden from ages and generations to reconcile the sinful world unto himselfe He can bring light out of darknesse and settlement out of confusion He can with a word of his mouth rebuke and alay the tempestuous windes and sea He can still the raging of the seas the noise of his waves and the madnesse of the people He can create peace where there is no pre-existent disposition or preparation towards it He can make the wrath of man turn to his praise and when he please he can restrain it That he would think thoughts of peace towards us and not of evil to give us an expected end That he would repaire the desolations that have been hereby occasioned that he would sow the wast places with the seed of man and of beast and as he hath formerly watched over them to pluck up and to destroy so he would now watch over them to build to plant To this purpose the book of Psalmes does abound with many petitions and complaints O let the wickednesse of the wicked come to an end but establish thou the just Shew thy marvellous loving kindnesse O thou that savest by thy right hand them that put their trust in thee from such as rise up against them Let not those that waite on thee be ashamed Redeem Israel O God out of all his troubles O God thou hast cast us off thou hast been displeased O turne thy selfe to us again Thou hast made the land to tremble thou hast broken it heal the breaches thereof for it shaketh Thou hast shewed thy people hard things thou hast made them to drink the wine of astonishment Give us help from trouble for vain is the help of man Let God arise and let his enemies be scattered let them also that hate him fly before him O deliver not the soul of the turtle unto the multitude of the wicked
