Subjection to Christ in all his ordinances and appointments the best means to preserve…

One of the sweetest refreshing mercies of God, to his New England People, amidst all their wilderness-trials, and straits, and sorrows, wherewith they at first conflicted in those ends of the earth, hath been their Sanctuary-enjoyments, in the beauties of holiness, where they have seen and met with him whom their souls love, and had familiar and full converse with him, above what they could then enjoy in the land from whence they came. This is that that hath sweetened many a bitter Cup to the remnant of Israel. The Lord alone led him, and there was no strange God with him, was said concerning Israel of old, and this was accounted mercy enough when he led them into a land where no man dwelt, and which no man passed thorough. What God hath done for New-England in this re•••ct, and what their Sanctuary mercies be, thou hast here a taste, though but a taste. These notes may well be thought to be less accurate, than if the Author himself had published them, and to want some polishments and trimmings, which it were not fit for any other to add▪ however thou wilt find them full of useful ⟨image 3⟩truths, and mayest easily discern his Spirit, and a Spirit above his own breathing in them.
