Is it the great design of God in delivering ⟨p. 92⟩a people from imminent dangers, to oblige them to break off sin? Let then the remarkable Deliverance that the Almighty God in abounding goodness hath lately bestowed upon us, effect this blessed change in our lives and conversations. With what face can we trample on the just and sacred Commands of our merciful God, whilst he smiles upon us with such unmerited favours? Can our Hearts be so damnably obdurate, so insensibly hardened, as not to be melted by such an unexpected Deliverance as this? Should we again break his Commandments? What pretence can favour such Impieties? What profession can cloak such Wickedness? What Allurements can entice us against Conscience, Reason, and Religion, to obviate and oppose the righteous requests and demands of such a patient God?
