3. There is Encouragement to beg this. ⟨p. 200⟩There be Encouragements in the Word of God. We have Promises, That Christ Jesus shall save many. Isai. 49.6. And Religion had need to be revived, else few will be saved: But the Children of the Kingdom will go into outer Darkness. Yea, there are Promises, That the Spirit shall go with the Word. Isai. 59.1. And then the Word will Prevail. And though these Promises don't speak particularly of this Land, and this Time, yet they are Ground of Encouragement. They show that God will do such Things many times for his Church, and that he would have them to plead for this Mercy. There is Encouragement also in the Providence of God. He hath many times revived his Work in Israel formerly, and we should take Notice of God's Mercy to our selves, once and again, and now a third Time.
