The three Kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland, entered into a solemn Covenant, approved by the Assemblies, and authorized by the Parliaments of two Kingdoms. May we not conclude of these in the language of the Prophet, Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Isay. 66. 8 Surely we may say as Moses to Israel (Deut. 4. 34.) Hath God assayed to go and take him a Nation, from the middest of another Nation by temptation, by signs and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the Lord our God doth for us in England, before our eyes. To take a Nation out of the midst of a Nation, is our case. If England finding (as now it doth) her children struggling in her womb, should go enquire of the Lord as Rebecca did; (Gen. 25. 22.) why is it thus? The Lord may answer, as he did to her, Two Nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thee. A Nation fearing God, and a Nation blaspheming God, a Nation seeking Reformation, and a Nation opposing Reformation.
