He may do it, he can do it, he will do it, he is wise in 1heart and mighty in strength; besides him there is no Saviour, no deliverer; he is a shield to the righteous, strength to the weak, a refuge to the oppressed; he is Instar omnium, All in all; who is like him in all the world, to help his People at a dead lift? when Friends can't help, when power can't help, when policy can't help, when riches can't help, when Princes can't help, when Parliaments can't help, yet then God can and will help his People, when all humane help fails. For the Lord shall judge his People, and repent himself for his Servants, when he seeth that their power (or hand) is 2gone, and there is none shut up or left. When Gods People are at the very brink of ruin, then God wil• come in seasonably to their help, their extremity shall be his opportunity to succour his People, and to judge their Enemies: no men, no devils, no power, no policy can hinder God from helping, aiding, assisting, and succouring of his People, when they are at a dead lift. But.
