29. By thee I have run thorow a Troop by my God I have leaped over a Wall By their God a Few men ran thorow Numerous Troops in Kent in Lancashire the last Yeere at Dublin this By him they have formerly leaped over High Walls at Bristoll Bridgewater and now this yeere at Droghedah Waterford in Ireland Vers 37. I have pursued mine Enemies and overtaken them neither did I turne againe till I had consumed them The First Part of this verse is past on your Part Noble Senators The Second Part remaines to be made a Prophecy with a little Change You have pursued your Enemies and overtaken them Neither shall you turne againe till you have consumed them There are Two things which are to be observed for this Conclusion of the Deliverance 1 The Persons on whom these Deliverances are bestowed 2 The Praises which are to be given for these Deliverances 1 The Persons v. 5. Great Deliverance gives He to His King and sheweth mercy to His Annoynted to David and to his Seed for Evermore David was a Type of Christ Christ was the Seed of David God made David His King his Annoynted in a Figure a Shadow but Iesus Christ in Truth and Substance Iesus Christ and His Seed are the Proper Grounds and Subject of all Deliverances and Mercies So far as we have an Interest in Christ we have an Interest in these Blessings So farre as we have a share in the Lord our Saviour we have a Share in these Salvations Thus these Salvations shall proceed and grow upon us to Eternity Otherwise we do lye the longest in that Sun of these Mercies like Stubble to dry that we may burn in the Fire the Last but the most furiously 2 The Praises Vers 46. The Lord liveth and Blessed be my Rock and let the God of my Salvation be exalted Let us unite our Hearts in this Song for a Close of our Praises Honours dye Pleasures dye the World dyes but the Lord Liveth My Flesh is as Sand my Fleshly Life Strength Glory is as a Word written on Sand but Blessed be my Rock Those are for a Moment This stands for ever The Curse shall devoure Those Everlasting Blessings on the Head of This Let Outward Salvations Vanish Let the Saved be Crucified Let the God of our Salvations be exalted This Lord is my Rock This God is my Salvation I have finished the First Way of Thankfulnesse The Recording the Goodnesse of God 2 Way The Restraining our selves from our Peculiar Sinnes Vers 23 I have kept my Selfe from mi●e Iniquity This is of a Twofold Concernment 1. Concernment Particular to Each Person Every one best knowes his owne Iniquity that to which he is especially inclined that by which he is oftnest overcome Let him Keepe himself from that Keepe thou thy selfe from thy Covetuousnesse in Place of Trust Keepe thou thy selfe from thy Oppression in Place of Power Oppression Positive or Negative by not Hearing not Searching out the Cause of the Poore Keep thou thy self from thy Pollutions thou from thy Profanesse c. 2 Concernment Publique to the Nation If I may have leave to present my Humble Opinion concerning this Nations owne Sinne not Excluding or Pre-judging other Opinions of other men I should with Submission conceive it to lye under these Two Heads 1. A Fatnesse of Heart Luxury in Feeding full upon Flesh is in a Morall way reputed the Nationall Vice of English men The Like unto this is Englands proper Sin at this day The Fatting of it selfe with Fleshly Confidences Give me leave to reason as Saint Paul doth Galath. 3. 2. How have ye received the Spirit by the works of the Law or by the Hearing of Faith How have we obtained these Victories and Successes by our Morallitie Legallity by our diligence in Ordinances God forbid Let my Tongue cleave to the Roof of my Mouth rather then make such harsh Musick But there is a Difference between raising these above the Head of our joyes and treading them under the Feet of Prophane or Sensuall Affections It is not Conformity to the Letter of the Scripture or Communion in Ordinances which I question but a Confidence in these a Competition of these with the Lord Jesus I say then How have you prospered How have you bin saved By these Things or by Free Grace and the Spirit of God They shall cry Grace Grace Not by Might nor by Power but my Spirit saith the Lord Zech. 4. 7. O England Trust thou in the Lord Jesus This is the First Head 2. A Blindnes of Minde It was the ruine of Hierusalem not to see the things of their Peace in the day of the Flesh of Christ I pray that it may not be the Ruine of London not to see the Things of the Spirit in the Day of the Spirit The Lord accomplish upon the Common wealth of England a Prayer made for the King of England by a holy Martyr in the Time of Henry the eight Lord Open the Eyes of the People of England to the Spirituall Presence of Jesus Christ in the midst of them Thus much for the second way of Thankfulnesse I shall make Short Stages of the other Two that I may come to the end of my Journey 3. Way Rejoycing in the Crosse of Christ S. Pauls language is God forbid that I should glory save in the Crosse of Christ by which I am crucified to the World and the World to me Gal. 6. 14. What is it in which you rejoyce this Day Is it to see a Reed shaken with the Wind Victories Conquests of Kingdoms changes in Common-wealths are Chances in this course of Mortality like the Shaking of a Reed in the Wind. But what is it in which you rejoyce Men clothed in rich Apparrell Your selves clothed with the Riches and Greatnesses of this Life They that are thus clothed are in Courts and Kings Houses You have seen Courts and Kings Houses made Desolate before your Eyes Rejoyce in this that you see the Crosse of Christ exalted and the Lord Jesus Crucifying upon it the Powers and Glories of this World This is the Signe of the Son of Mans approach in the Clouds Rejoyce in this that you feele the Crosse of Christ in your Selves crucifying you to the World This is a Sacrifice of Praise which will have a Sweet Savour in the Nostrils of your God if you love to see the World and your Selves offered up as a Whole Burnt-Offering to the Lord in the Fire which Christ Kindleth upon the Earth by His Crosse Invite the Bird of Heaven the Eagle the Spirit to your Feast of Thanksgivings this day to come and feed upon your Fleshly Designes and Delights till it have quite devoured them All 4 Way The raising of our Selves to the Great Day of our Saviours last Appearing David onely toucheth at Sauls Slaughter His ow●e Soveraignty but he immediately flyes at and fixeth on that Day of Judgement those last Flames of the Worlds Confusion and Christs Coming Thus we shall Keep a Holy Solemnity to the Lord if we also by occasion of our Deliverances be transported and ravisht in Spirit to that Glorious Day that Day of Jubile Abraham received Isaac from Death in a Figure He saw the Day of Christ in that Figure and rejoyced to see it Let us also make our Victories a Prospective to the Eye of our Faith that thorow these we may looke to that Houre in which the World shall dissolve Jesus Christ descend in the Glory of His Father with all His Holy Angels Behold a way of making your Table at which you are presently to feast the Table of the Lord Speake such words as these one to another As we now fe●d upon Birds and Beasts that we may enlarge and heighten our selves that we may bring forth them againe in the Life and Forme of Men So hath Iesus Christ in these times ●ed upon the Flesh of Nobles and the f●t of Princes that He might appeare more fully in the Spirit And as we have seene Him come this Day in this Little Corner of the Earth so shall He ere long come upon the Whole World He shall eat the Flesh of Power and Glory He shall drink the Blood of the Naturall Life of Every Creature of the Saints themselves that He may bring forth Himself and Them againe together with Himselfe Spiritually in His Everlasting Kingdome Even so Come quickly Lord Iesus FINIS ERRATA In the Epistle Page 8.
