These mercies, and these circumstances are so great and so wonderful, as that, if I had as many tongues as hairs on my head, they would not all suffice to set out the praises of God for them: And indeed I can hardly forbear from turning this day of humiliation, into a day of thanksgiving. Surely God requires a thousand thousand Hallelujahs; And that we should bless him upon a thousand stringed Instrument: Here is fuel enough. The Lord kindle a great fire in every one of our hearts, to burn out all our lusts: to inflame our cold hearts with the love of such a God: and to make us ashamed and confounded that ever we should sin against him.

National mercies come from the God of Nations; And that all 2the world may take notice that mercies come from God, he ordinarily doth two things.
