1Fourthly, In the mean time while Deliverance is thus delayed, God gives the enemies warning: He sets them a day as it were to come in: He sets Kings their day, when Parliaments do not:2 KISS THE SON, saith he to the Kings and Princes that are in conspiracy against his Holy Child JESUS: Will ye, 3or will ye not? AS YET EXALTEST THOU THY SELF AGAINST ME? said he to the Egyptian Tyrant after the sixth plague; AS YET? Wilt thou not come in for all th•se warnings? Come in by such a day, or thou art but a dead man. And thus he bespeaks the briars and thorns that come against him in battle; Let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me, and he shall make peace with me; else I will go through them, 4I will burn them together.
