3. Gods great works call for trembling, Habak. 3. The Prophet considering Gods walking through the red Sea with his horses, maketh him say, though it was a work of mercy, verse 16. When I heard it, my belly trembled, my lips quivered, rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in my self. O tremble at this Lord, who hath, 1. Wrought State miracles, if not miracles in nature; he hath commanded the Sun of righteousness to stand still in the Meridian of Britain. 2. He hath divided our red Sea. 3. He hath brought us back from the bordel-house, and renewed a Covenant with us. 4. Our enemies are fallen, and those are enlarged who were banished, imprisoned, vexed by Prelates for the heinous crime (as they thought) of piety, holiness, and orthodoxy. Tremble at his goodness, Fear the Lord and his goodness, Hos. 3. 5. Rejoice in trembling, Psal. 2. 11. An ingenuous mind feareth debt, mercies tendered to us are debts lying on us; O how shall we repay him? what shall we render to him? Are we not bankrupts to mercy and the goodness of God.
