And as God shows himself not to be changed, but will be the same towards this people as ever he was in goodness; and so it beseems us to be, that if we have shown respect any way to other, either in speeches or otherwise, if they appear to be what they were, it beseems us to be towards them as then, let them but appear to be what they were when such respect were shown to them, and according to the example of God it beseems us to show our selves to them again, and again, to what we then did. I that am the Lord thy God from the Land of Egypt, will yet make thee to dwell in Tabernacles.
And as God shews himself not to be changed, but wil be the same towards this people as ever he was in goodness; and so it beseems us to be, that if we have shewn respect anie way to other, either in speeches or otherwise, if they appear to be what they were, it beseems us to be towards them as then, let them but appear to be what they were when such respect were shown to them, and according to the example of God it beseems us to shew our selves to them again, and again, to what we then did. I that am the Lord thy God from the Land of Egypt, will yet make thee to dwell in Tabernacles.
That's another Note, The Consideration of what God hath 1done, should help our faith in believing what yet he will do; he that hath delivered us thus far, may he not deliver us further? I am the Lord that hath delivered you from Egypt; Oh! let us make use of what God hath done for us to help our faith in confidence of him for doing further; The truth is, God hath done so much for England, 2as there is not more to be done than hath been done, and if there be but as much of the Power, Goodness, and Mercy of God towards us for the next five or six years' as hath been for these last six years, ecrtainly it will be as glorious a Nation as ever was upon the face of the earth, it will be the beginning of the new Jerusalem, if God should continue so as he hath done. And why may not the Lord that hath brought us out of Egypt, bring us to rejoice as in the feast of Tabernacles?
