BUT, Sixthly, and Lastly; I remember my Promise of, Comfortable Things. I remember, I did but Almost Say, N. Com•. No, Our Merciful GOD, has in Wrath remembered •y to us, and Checkered our State, with many Bright Circumstances, which have Abated the Sorrows of the Long War, which He has distributed unto us in His Anger. In the Favours of our Good GOD, we have had Him Speaking to us; His Voice, yea. His Mighty Voice, has therein called us, To Glorify H•n, and Praise H•n for His Goodness, and for His Wonderful Works to the Children of Men.
SHALL I make a brief Recapitulation?
HOW Favoured have we been of our GOD, in So Vigilant a Care, and Guard, which has kept our Frontiers, for Two Hundred Miles together, So Fortified, and in such a Way of Communication, that the Salvages have been afraid of attempting Frequent Surprisals upon them? Our GOD Speaks this unto us; Behold, An Hedge of My making about you!
