Now the Almighty God make this Word of his, Quick and powerful, and sharper than a two-edged Sword within their Souls! Hear, O Young People; Hear that your Souls may live: It is reported of Jotham, in Judg. 9. 7. He stood in the top of the Mount, and he lift up his voice and cried, and said, Hearken unto me, that God may hearken unto you. Thus would I do, thus would I speak this day. Here I stand in the Name of God that made you all: I would lift up my voice, and cry, and say, O Remember your Creator now, in the days of your youth.
