Sixthly, I foresee the miseries they would endure, Oh! 1the very cries are in mine ears already, if I should deliver them up into the hand of their enemies, Oh! the extremity they would endure, how would they be plundered of all they have, put into prison, put to miserable torments! Oh! what shriekings and cries would there be, ⟨p. 147⟩even from my people that would worship me! And me thinks […] ears are filled already with their cries beforehand. Many times when we speak of the sorrows and miseries of people, before they come we are a little affected with them, but when we are eye-witnesses of the miseries of people; as if any of you have seen the woeful miseries of those that have been under the power of the adversaries, then your hearts would be affected indeed: but now all the miseries that they should endure are present before God, as if they were now in real being, and therefore, How shall I give them up? And that's the sixth thing that puts God thus to a stand, that makes it hard for him to give up a people that are any way related to him.
