That mercy that I had by a special hand of Gods providence, that I can relate Gods providence how it wrought about from this passage to the other passage, how strangely the Lord did work about His ends, to bestow such a mercy and such a mercy upon me; Well, thou canst speak of Gods providence and bless His Name, thou dost well in it, but take then heed thou dost not abuse that mercy that thou enjoyest by the special hand of Gods providence; take heed of provoking God to come and devour that mercy. So it is threatened here, a month shall devour their portion, their estates that they had by special lot it shall now come to be destroyed because of their sin.
