Gen. XX. 6. I With-held thee from Sinning against Me.
A Most astonishing Favour of Heaven! Too little acknowledged, not near enough Celebrated, among the Sinful Children of Men. We have many Calls to take a thankful Notice of a Mercy, wherein we are so highly •avoured; Very mighty Calls, when we see what horrid and bloody Sin, some of our ⟨p. 2⟩Brethren are Left unto; What fearful Ruin some have brought upon themselves, by the Sin which they have been Left unto. 'Tis what the Lamentable Object we have now before us doth very Loudly Call us to; 'tis the most proper Use to be made of such a Spectacle!
