I am to put you in Mind, of some Things done in Later Times, wherein, Thou hast Awoke, O Arm of the Lord, Awoke as in the 'Ancient Days, as in the Generations of Old! Strange Things done for our Nation, in the Critical Moments wherein we had been all Undone, if They had not been Done just when they were, and if the Mercies of our GOD had not Speedily flown down unto us. Christians, Whoso is wise and will observe these things, even they shall understand the Loving-kindness of the Lord.
