XV. God's preserving that nation from being destroyed, and delivering them from time to time, although they were so often subdued and b•ought under the dominion of their enemies. It is a wonder, not on•y that the true religion was not wholly rooted out, and so the church destroyed that way; but also that the very nation in which that church was, was not utterly destroyed; they were so often brought under the power of their enemies. One while they were subdued by […] rishataim king of Mesopotamia, another while they were brought under the Moabites; and then they were sold into the hand of J•bin king of Canaan; and then they were under the dominion of the Midianites; and then were sorely distressed by the children of Ammon; and then by the Philistines. But yet God, in all these dangers, preserved them, and kept them from being wholly overthrown; and from time to time, when it was come to extremity, and God saw that they were upon the very brink of ruin, then God raised up a deliverer, agreeable to Deut. xxxii, 36. "For the Lord shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants; when he •eeth their power is gone, and there is none shut up or left."
