O with what satisfaction should I part with you, were I but sure to leave you under Christs wings! It was Christs lamentation over Jerusalem, that they ⟨p. 139⟩would not be gathered under his wings, when the Roman Eagle was ready to hover over that City; and you know how dear they paid for their obstinacy and infidelity. Be warned by that dreadful example, and among the rest of your mercies bless God heartily for this, That so sweet a voice sounds from Heaven in your ears this day, this day of frights and troubles; Come my people, enter thou into thy Chambers, &c.
