1. He hath been a Saviour to you. He hath saved your throats from the sword, your habitations from the flames, your lives from the plague your persons from the prison. (1.) He hath saved your Throat from the sword, have you forgotten that you were a people devoted to destruction, by the sons of violence? but God disappointed them and gave you your lives for a prey.

(2.) Your habitations from the flames. The flames have been set in Ambush against you, and yet your habitations are not burnt down to this day.
(3.) Your lives from the plague. It hath been devoured by the plague heretofore, and yet it hath not devoured you. How eminently hath God preserved you in this place in the time of common calamity that hath been among others. O think not that it was because those were greater sinners than are in Taunton: No, but because God hath a peculiar intention of saving you. Yet I say to you as Christ •o them, think not that those upon whom the Tower in Siloam fell, were greater sinners ⟨p. 117⟩than any in Jerusalem. I tell you nay, but except you repent ye shall all likewise perish. We have had the same sins, and yet God hath preserved us.
