It was Hope encouraged the Ninevites to repent and reform, when they had heard the dreadful Doom of utter Destruction denounced against them by the Prophet Jonah, Jon. 3. 4, 9. And, blessed be God, our Case, though sad, is not so desperate as not to leave us any encouraging Grounds of Hope. The Experience we have had of the Divine Favour, in delivering us from the intolerable Miseries of Popery and Slavery by a just War, and from the remaining Miseries of War by an happy Peace; the Preservation of the King's Life in so many Dangers as he hath been exposed to, both at Home and Abroad; His Majesty's Forwardness to countenance the Work of Reformation by his Speeches to the Parliament, Proclamation to all his Subjects, and by being himself a Pattern of what he recommends; together with the like Forwardness in the High Court of Parliament, and the most eminently dignified and distinguished Persons both in Church and State; the Readiness of many, both in City and Country, to join in this blessed Work; and the visible Success of their honest and pious Endeavours. These, sure, give us some Ground of Hope, and Encouragement to expect, that our Labour in this matter, shall not be in vain: But that if we heartily set to the Work, God will work with us, |
