Wi••. Hope of relief, is a means to ease grief, and to raise the distressed heart to apply it self unto means of Remedy. In the second of Chron. 33. we read of a Sachem that was a greater sinner then you have been, yet upon his repentance and change of life, he obtained mercy. His Name was Manasseh, his sins were such, as that it is an abhorring to read them: then God brought him into affliction, and it is said, ver. 12, 13. And when he was in ⟨p. 70⟩affliction▪ he besought the Lord his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers, an• prayed unto him, and he was intreate• of hi•, an• hear• his supplication, and brought him again unto Jer••ale• into his kingdom. Then Manasseh know that the Lord he was God. So I say unto you, Beloved sachem, humble your self before the Lord set up praying to God among all your people, walk in ways of wisdom and religion, and you shall find that God will be merciful to you, and your latter days shall be blessed, and be a blessing.
