So the Church pleads with God in diverse places, in Isay 51. 2. God 1calls to his people to make use of former experience: Look to Abraham your Father, and to Sarah that bare you, &c. Look to former times, to the rock whence you were hewen, and to the hole of the pit whence you were digged: he that was your God then, is your God now; Look to Abraham your Father, and from thence reason till now. So in Isay 63. 7. I will mention the loving kindness of the Lord, and the praise of the Lord, according to the great goodness of the Lord bestowed upon us. In all their afflictions he was afflicted, &c he speaks of former experience; In love he bare them, and carried them all the days of old. So in Psalm 44. Our Fathers have told us this and this. So both the head of the Church, and the Church it self plead with God from former experience, and God calls them to former experience, Remember the rock whence you were hewen. And he upbraids them because they forgot the works done to their fathers, in Psal. 105. and diverse others, he objects to them that they did not make use of Gods former favours, Psal. 106. 12. They forgot their Saviour that had done great things in Egypt, &c. they forgot his former favours. And in the 13. verse of that Psal. They soon forgot his works, and waited not for his counsel.
