You will yet less expect, that I should be at any pains, for proving, That this VOICE of the glorious GOD, is to be hearkened to. When the great GOD who formed all things, will please to utter His Voice, What? Shall it not by all that have the Faculties of Reason in them rendering them capable of hearkening to it, be hearkened to? O most unreasonable! GOD our Maker ⟨p. 12⟩says, Unto you, O Men, I call, and my Voice is unto the Sons of Men. We are Bruits rather than Men, and Colts of the wild Ass, yea, Children of the wicked One, rather than the Sons of Men, if we do not hearken to the Voice of his Eternal Wisdom. He will not own us, for the People of His Pasture, and the Sheep of His Hand, if we do not even To Day bear His Voice. An hardy Pharaoh may say, Exod. V. 2. Who is the Lord, that I should Obey His Voice! Words to come from the Mouth of none but a Pharaoh, and a Devil! But, Ah, Pharaoh, ah! Monster, The Almighty GOD, whom thou so insultest, and whose Voice thou so defiest, what will the affronted JEHOVAH do unto thee! What will He do unto thee!
