You know, Moses prevailed with him, when he sought the saving of the whole people of Israel, Lord, saith he, thy name will be polluted, what will the Heathen say? and since I aim at thy glory in it, deny me not. And likewise Hezekiah, and David, they use the same Argu•nt ⟨p. 110⟩to God, shall the •st praise thee? shall any glory be given thee in the grave▪ shall we be able to do any thing for thy honour, when we are dead?
