Fourthly, God obviates the accomplishment of conceived sin, by removing, or taking away the objects on whom, or about whom, the sin conceived was to be committed. Acts 12. 11. yields us a signal Instance of this issue of Providence: When the day was coming wherein Herod thought to have slain Peter who was shut up in Prison, God sends and takes him away from their rage and ⟨p. 198⟩lying in wait. So also was our Saviour himself taken away from the murderous rage of the Jews before his hour was come, Joh. 8. 59. chap. 10, 39. Both Primitive and latter times are full of stories to this purpose: Prison-doors have been opened, and poor Creatures appointed to die have been frequently rescued from the Jaws of death. In the World it self amongst the men thereof, Adulterers and Adulteresses, the sin of the one is often hindered and stifled by the taking away of the other. So wings were given to the woman to carry her into the Wilderness and to disappoint the World in the execution of their rage, Rev. 12. 14.
