1. Let us pray our Elder sister home to Christ, Cant. 8. They said,1 We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts, what shall we do for our sister in the day that she shall be spoken for? Now we have a greater sister: What shall we the Gentiles do for her? There's a day, When ten men shall take hold, out of all Nations, of the skirt of a Jew, saying, we will go with you; we have heard that God is with you, Zach. 8.21.

2. It is the happiness of our Land,1 that we have a three-fold relation to Christ, I mean these two Nations, that we have avowed the Lord by a National Testimony, and the Nations are the public Martyrs and witnesses of Christ, in that they are made a field of blood, for no other quarrel, but because they desire to stand for Christ Truth, against Antichrist: sure in the intention of Papists now in Arms against us, there is no cause of War but this only. 2. That we have sworn that the Lord shall be our God, in a Solemn Covenant. 3. That we are honoured to build the Temple of the Lord, and reform Religion. O that we could see our debt and be thankful.
