We find by experience now God hath brought us out 1of Egypt here, in great measure we are called out of Egypt, and we hope that God intends a Canaan to us, yet what children are we? we do not know how to step a step in our way, Oh! how often have we been at a stand in our way since God hath been pleased to call us out of Egypt? we have been at a maze; not knowing which way to take, this way or that way, Oh! how often have we fallen in our way, and gone astray? If ever people had need to have God to teach them how to go, then 2have we at this day; our path is an untrodden path, and there are many stumbling blocks in our way, we often stumble and fall in them; Poor children have not more need to have the hand of the Parent or Nurse, when they go upon the Ice, in slippery ways, then we have need of the hand of God upon us to lead us in our way and to guide us. That's the first Note.
