We must stand; that's our duty: oh! how should it cause us to lie low, by reason of the instability of our hearts, and their cursed declining from the true foundation every day. Alas, Beloved, this is that that God complains of, they are a generation whose spirit is not steadfast with God; and therefore we have very much reason to complain of it: oh! that this sin might be forgiven: oh, what an unsettled people have we been! to day we have been apt to cry Hosanna, Hosanna to the Son of David, to morrow our note is changed, crucify him, crucify him, give us Barabbas▪ to day the Lord is God, to morrow Baal; any thing is God, provided we may keep our Estates.
