3 A stock of Divine Experiences. 1Happy is that man that lodgeth up in his heart all the former Experiences he hath had of Gods love and mercy towards him, and knoweth how to argue from them in the day of calamity: Thus did Moses in his prayer to God, Numb. 14. 19. Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people, according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people from Egypt, even until now. Because God had forgiven them, therefore Moses entreats him to forgive them; this Argument is drawn from former experience. And thus David encourageth himself, 1 Sam. 17, 37. The Lord hath delivered me out of the paw of the Lion, and out of the paw of the Bear, and he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. Thus also Paul reasoneth, 2 Cor. 1. 10. Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver, and in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us! Divine experiences are the Saints great encouragements ⟨p. 38⟩in the day of Affliction. Blessed is the man that hath his quiver full of these arrows.
