If after so solemn an Obligation, we shall be found to mock God, we have engaged him against us; and add the Almighty to the number of our enemies, a swift, and a powerful Witness, and Avenger of our perfidiousness. Nor will Refusal of this Covenant help us; when God shall come to interpret, It will be found, I fear, in most, but a depart from us; And when God shall answer the daring sinner in his own language; woe to the poor wretch, that ever he was born.
If after so solemn an Obligation, we shall be found to mock God, we have engaged him against us; and adde the Almighty to the number of our enemies, a swift, and a powerfull Witnesse, and Avenger of our perfidiousnesse. Nor will Refusall of this Covenant help us; when God shall come to interpret, It will be found, I fear, in most, but a depart from us; And when God shall answer the daring sinner in his own language; woe to the poer wretch, that ever he was born.
I have therefore three humble Requests to make.
First, To our truly Honourable, and worthily Honoured, Senators; That in the Wisdom and Zeal, of good King Hezekiah, 2 Chro. 30.1. in a concernment of the like nature, They would be pleased, with their Commands, for the taking of the Covenant, To send forth also, such timely Laws and Directions, into the Kingdom, as may prepare the people, and fence this holy Ordinance, from that contempt and profanation, which will otherwise be unavoidably cast upon it.
