The manifestation of Gods Sovereignty, power, and sovereign 1Justice, is as dear to him as the manifestation of his mercy. The properties he lays out in destruction, are equally glorious, with those he lays out in preservation. In the proclamation of his glorious name he omits them not: Exod. 34. 6, 7. In these he triumpheth gloriously when he hath overthrown the horse and his rider in the sea, Exod. 15.

Let not our eyes in the late deliverance be always on the light 1side of the work, our own Mercies: the dark side of Terror and Judgement is not without its glory. The Folly that was in their Counsels, the amazement that was in their Armies, The trembling that accompanied all their undertakings, the Tympanous products of all their Endeavours, do all cry out Digitus Dei est hic. Had not God showed infinite wisdom, they had not been so abundantly foolish; Had not he been Infinite in power, the many thousands of Enemies had not been so weak.
