Alas, what have we done with all the Covenants, we have made with God? Our Baptismal Vows, renewed (perhaps) Monthly at the Lords Table; our sick Beds engagements; Parliament Protestations and Covenants with those often Monthly, W•ckly, almost daily repetitions of Covenants in the days of Humiliations and Thanksgivings; what is become of them all? Have we not dealt with them in some such like manner, as Moses dealt with the two Tables; who went up into the Mountain, to receive them from God; but as soon as he came down to the bottom, threw them out of his hands, and brake them: So have we done for all the world; we have gone up into the Mountain of the House of the Lord (so is the place of public worship called) to make and renew our solemn Vows and Covenants, 1which we have Sealed under an Oath and a Curse before, and with the most high God; but no sooner (all most) have we come down into the Valley of our ordinary walking and conversation; but we have thrown them out of our hands, and broken them all to pieces.
