DIRECTION IX.
1Hath God spared you in time of so great Contagion; Then keep upon your heart a constant sense of Gods distinguishing Providence, in his preservation of you. Let not length of time (if God give it you) wear off the greatness of this his Mercy towards you; if you forget Gods ⟨p. 266⟩goodness, you will not walk worthy of it: This was the sin of the People of Israel, for whom God did such great things, Psal. 78.10. They kept not the Covenant of God: and refused to walk in his Law. Vers. 11. And forgot his Works, and his Wonders that he had showed them. Psal. 106.21. They forgot God their Saviour, which had done great things in Egypt. God hath done great wonders for you, in preserving of you in the valley of the shadow of death: God hath not given you over unto death; God hath not laid you in the Grave, where you would soon have been forgotten: do not you lay Gods Mercy, towards you, in the grave of oblivion; nor bury his mercy (of saving you alive) in forgetfulness: David laid a charge upon his Soul, that he should not forget the benefits of the Lord towards him, Psal. 103.2.
