God hath done, for his part, enough for Israel. 1He hath stored their Vials with Balm, their Cities with ⟨p. 248⟩Physicians. It was then their own fault, that their health was not recovered.2 Oh Israel, thou hast destroyed thy self, but in me is thine help. Let even the inhabitants of Jerusalem and Judah themselves be umpires, And what could I have done more to my Vineyard, 3that I have not done in it? God is not sparing in the commemoration of his mercies to us: as knowing, that of all the faculties of the Soul, the memory first waxeth old; and of all objects of the memory, a benefit is soonest forgotten. We write mans injuries to us in Marble, but Gods mercies in dust or waters. We had need of remembrances. God hath done so much for us, that he may say to us,4 as once to Ephraim. Oh Ephraim, what shall I do (more) unto thee? What could Israel want, which God supplied not? If they want a guide, God goes before them in fire. If they lack Bread, Flesh, or Drink, Mercy and Miracle shall concur to satisfy them. Heaven shall give them Bread, the Wind Quails, the Rock Waters. Doth the Wilderness deny them new clothes? their old shall not wax old on their backs. A Law from heaven shall direct their Consciences; and Gods Oracles from between the Cherubins shall resolve their doubts. If they be too weak for their Enemies, Fire from heaven, vapours from the clouds, Frogs and Caterpillars, Sun, Air, Waters, shall take their parts. Nay, God himself shall fight for them. What could God do more for their reserving, for their preserving?
