27 Were it not that I feared the Wrath of the Enemy, left their Adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and left they should say, Our Hand is high, and the LORD hath hot done all this.

28 For they are a Nation void of Counsel, neither is there any Understanding in them.

2910 that they were WISE, that they understood this, that they would CONSIDER their LATTER END!

30 How should one chase á Thousand, and two put Ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had fold them, and the Lord had shut them up.

31 For their Rock is not as our Rock, even our Enemies themselves being Judges.

32 For their Vine is of the Vine of Sodom, and of the Fields of Gomorrah: their Grapes are Grapes of Gall, their Clusters are bitter.

Ecclef. xi. 8 If a Man live many Years, and rejoyce in them all; yet let him remember the Days of DARKNESS, for they shall be maný. All that cometh is VANITY.

9 Rejoyce, O YOUNG MAN, in thy Youth, and let thy Heart cheer

in the Days of thy Youth, and walk in the Ways of thy Heart, and in the Sight of thine Eyes: but know thou, that for all THESE THINGS GOD will bring thee into JUDGMENT

Pjal. xxxix. 4 LORD, make me to know mine End, and the MEASURE of my Days, what it is that I may know how FRAIL I am.

rily every Man at his BEST STATE IS altogether VANITY.

P/al. lxxxi. 13 O that my People had HEARKNED unto me, and Ifrael

had WALKED in my WAYS!

33 Their Wine is the Poison of Dragons, and the cruel Venom of Afps.

34 Is not this laid up in Store with me, and sealed up among my Treasures ?

35 To me belongeth Vengeance and Récompence, their Foot shall flide in due time for the Day of their Calamity is at hand, and the Things that shall come upon them make haste.

36 For the LORD shall judge his People, and repent himfelf for his Servants; when he seeth that their Power is gone, and there is none sout up, or left.

37 And he shall say, Where are their Gods, their Rock in whom they trusted?

38 Let them rise up and help you, and be your Prote

Etion.

39 See now that I, even I am he, and there is no God with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my Hand.

40 For I lift up my Hand to Heaven, and say, I live for

ever.

41 If I whet my glittering Sword, and mine Hand take hold on Judgment; I will render Vengeance to mine Enemies, and will reward them that hate me.

42 I will make mine Arrows drunk with Blood (and my Sword shall devour Flesh) and that with the Blood of the Slain, and of the Captives, from the Beginning of Revenges upon the Enemy.

43 m REJOYCE, O ye Nations, with his People: for he will avenge the Blood of his Servants, and will render VENGEANCE to his Adverfaries, and will be merciful unto his Land, and to his People.

44 And Mofes came and spake all the Words of this Song in the Ears of the People, he and Hofrea..

in Rom. XV. 8 JESUS CHRIST was 2 Minifter of the Circumcifion for the Truth of God, to CONFIRM the PROMISES made unto the Fathers:

9 And that the GENTILES might GLORIFY GOD for his MERCY; as it is written, For this Cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles and SING unto thy NAME.

To And again he faith, REJOYCE ye GENTILES with his PEOPLE.

It And again, PRAISE the LORD all ye GENTILES, and LAUD him all

ye People.

45 And Mofes made an end of speaking all these Words to all Ifrael:

46 And he said unto them, Set your HEARTS unto all the Words which I testify among you this Day; which ye shall command your CHILDREN to obferve to do, all the Words of this Law.

47 For it is NOT a VAIN Thing for you: because it is your LIFE; and through this Thing ye shall prolong your Days in the Land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.

48 And the LORD spake unto Mofes that felf-fame Day, faying,

49 Get thee up into this Mountain Abarim, unto Mount Nebo, which is in the Land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold, the Land of Canaan, which I give unto the Children of Ifrael for a Poffeffion.

50 And die in the Mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy People; as Aaron thy Brother died in Mount Hor, and was gathered unto his People :

51 Because ye trespasled against me among the Children of Ifrael, at the Waters of Meribah Kadesh, in the Wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the Children of Ifrael.

§2 Yet thou shalt see the Land before thee, but thou thalt not go thither unto the Land which I give the Children

of Ifrael.

2 And he said, The LORD came from SINAI, and rose up from Seir unto them; he SHINED forth from Mount Paran, and he came with Ten thousands of Saints: from his Right Hand went a Fiery Law for them.

3 Yea, he loved the People; all his Saints are in thy Hand: and they fat down at thy Feet; every one shall receive of thy Words.

4 Moses commanded us a Law: even the Inheritance of the Congregation of Jacob.

5 And he was King in Jeshurun, when the Heads of the People, and the Tribes of Ifrael were gathered toge

ther.

Dan, vii. 9 I beheld, till the THRONES were cast down, and the ANCIENT of DAYS did fit, whose Garment was white as Snow, and the Hair of his Head like the pure Wool: his THRONE was like the FIERY FLAME, and his Wheels as burning Fire.

10 A FIERY STREAM issued, and came forth from before him: THOUSAND THOUSANDS MINISTRED unto him, and Ten thousand times Ten thouland stood before him: the JUDGMENT was set, and the Books were OPENED.

1 Moses from Mount Nebo vieweth the Land : 5 He dieth there: 6 His Purial : 7 His Age: 8 Thirty Days Mourning for him: 9 Joshua fucceedeth him: 10 The Praise of Moses.

ND Mofes went up from the Plains of Moab, unto the Mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pifgah, that is over against Jericho: and the LORD shewed him all the Land.

4 And the LORD faid unto him, This is the Land which I fware unto Abraham, unto Ifaac, and unto Jacob, faying,

I will give it unto thy Seed: I have caused thee to fee it with thine Eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.

5 So Mofes the Servant of the Lord died there in the Land of Moab, according to the Word of the LORD.

6. And he buried him in

7 And Mofes was an hundred and twenty Years old when he died: his Eye was not dim, nor his natural Force abated.

8 And the Children of Ifrael wept for Mofes in the Plains of Moab thirty Days: so the Days of weeping, and mourning for Mofes were ended.

9 And Joshua the Son of Nun was full of the Spirit of Wisdom; for Mofes had laid his Hands upon him: and the Children of Ifrael hearkned unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Mofes.

10 And there arose not a Prophet since in Israel like unto Mofes, whom the LORD knew Face to Face:

II In all the Signs and the Wonders which the Lord sent him to do in the Land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, and to all his Servants, and to all his Land.

12 And in all that mighty Hand, and in all the great Terfor which Moses shewed in the Sight of all Ifrael.
