Just thus it is, when God hath so ⟨p. 279⟩magnified his mercy to England, and wrought such wonders yet many carnal atheistical spirits, say this was an accidental thing, and the policy of such men brought it to pass, they attribute all to natural causes, it is a sign of wretched profane heart: For if God ever magnified prayer he hath done it in these days. There are 2 or 3 Scriptures that since the world began were never more magnified, then by Gods working at this day.
Iust thus it is, when God hath so ⟨p. 279⟩magnified his mercy to England, and wrought such wonders yet manie carnall atheisticall spirits, say this was an accidentall thing, and the policie of such men brought it to passe, they attribute all to naturall causes, it is a sign of wretched profane heart: For if God ever magnified prayer he hath done it in these dayes. There are 2 or 3 Scriptures that since the world began were never more magnified, then by Gods working at this day.
One is in Exodus 13. In the thing wherein they dealt proudly, God was above them. Never since the world began was that more fulfilled. A second is that in the 10. Psalm, The wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. If ever there were a fulfilling of that Scripture since the beginning of the world, it is as this day. A third is this in the Text. I said not to the seed of Jacob; seek ye my face in vain. God (as I said) hath raised a spirit of prayer among the seed of Jacob more then ever any in the world knew; there was never the like spirit of prayer ⟨p. 280⟩raised, nor never the like things done for prayer.
