Only, Let us Remember to plead the Sacrifice of our Lord JESUS CHRIST, in our Prayer, with our Faith, for the Perfection of our Deliverance. Our Lord JESUS CHRIST, hath been a Sin-Offering for the Congregation, and a Sacrifice pleadeable, not only for Persons, but also for Peoples that belong unto Him. We read in 1 Sam. 7.9, 10. Samuel Offered a Burnt-Offering wholly unto the Lord, and Samuel Cried unto the Lord of Israel, and the Lord heard him; and the Lord Thundered with a Great Thunder on that Day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them. ⟨image ?⟩When we Cry to the Lord, Let us plead the Burnt-Offering of the Lord Jesus Christ, & plead, That God has more Glorified His Justice in the Sufferings of our Lord JESUS CHRIST, than if our Houses were all Filled with the Cries of our People Massacred by Indian Salvages. Then will our God Thunder with a Great Thunder of His Consuming Wrath upon our Indian Philistines! That Note, which the Great Calvin ha's above an Hundred Times over, in his Commentaries on the Psalms, Nunquam Irritas fore preces, Or, Prayers will never be lost! Prayers will never be lost! It will much oftener be Repeated in our Blessed Experience, if our Prayers do present before God that Blessed Sacrifice, of which He says, 'Tis a Sweet odour o• Me!
