Let us then put our whole trust in God in this time of danger and take the Royal Prophets resolution Psal. 118. 6. Not to fear what man can do unto us but rather fear the Lord who pitieth those that fear him Psal. 103. 13. It is the Duty of every one of us to be circumspect in our Lives but more especially at this season and time of Affliction when the hand of God is stretched out against us when the Enemy waits even at our doors ready to devour us when they stand gaping ready to swallow us up quick and none of us can prognosticate how soon his

O let thy continued mercies and loving kindnesses be ever in our remembrance and make our Hearts still full of smoothness and tranquillity that we may not fear the rigour of man or the cruel wrath of those whose spirits thou canst refrain lest we be hindred in our duty towards thee but let us so fear to offend thee that we may press forwards from fear to love from apprehensions of thy wrath to the sense and comfort of thy mercies Meditations for Saturday Morning UNto thee O God do we give thanks yea unto thee do we give thanks Thy Name also is so nigh and that do thy wondrous works declare When I receive the Congregation I shall judge according unto right The Earth is weak and all the Inhabitants thereof I bear up the Pillars of it II. I said unto the Fools Deal not so madly and to the Ungodly set not up your Horn. Set not up your Horn on high and speak not with a stiff Neck For promotion cometh neither from the East nor from the West nor yet from the South And why God is the Judge he putteth down one and setteth up another III. For in the hand of the Lord there is a Cup and the Wine is red it is full mixt and he poureth out of the same As for the dregs thereof all the ungodly of the Earth shall drink them and suck them out But I will talk of the God of Jacob and praise him for ever All the Horns of the ungodly also will I break and the Horns of the Righteous shall be exalted The Prayer GReat Judge of the whole Universe from whom proceeds all promotion and punishment extend thy Mercy now upon us at the hour of Death and in the day of Judgment when thou shalt judge all the Society of Men and Angels according to Right II.

But let all those that seek thee be joyful and glad in thee and let all such as delight in thy Salvation say always The Lord be praised As for me I am poor and in misery Hast thee unto me O God Thou art my Helper and my Redeemer O Lord make no long tarrying The Prayer THou O God art our Deliverer Helper and Redeemer have mercy upon us and all those which serve thee in Sincerity and Truth help us O God against those that seek to destroy our Souls Let our delight be to wait for thy Salvation and to trust in thy never-failing Mercies that our Feet being guided by thy direction we may remain safe under thy Providence II. Suffer us not O thou who art a God of Power and great Glory to be a Prey to our Enemies but dissipate and scatter them as offensive Clouds to the light of thy Gospel Strengthen our Weakness by thy Power pardon our Sins by thy Mercies and justifie our Souls by thy free Grace that we may now and evermore with the humble Addresses of Devotion give thee Praise not only with our Lips but in our Lives through Jesus Christ our Lord.
