Book excerpt: Excerpt from Discourses on Various Subjects Relative to the Being and Attributes of God, and His Works in Creation, Providence, and Grace, Vol. 2 He to whom God says, I am thy God, in this peculiar sense, has reason for eternal exultation. And that He had shewn himself to be God, the good Being, to Israel, he adds which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. I need not here enter into the ancient history of the Israelites, and of their 430 years servitude in Egypt, where they were at all times ill used, and towards the latter part of their sojourning there, most cruelly oppressed; these things are well known. From that land, in which the true God was not acknowledged - where they had no means of grace, and no spiritual or intellectual advantage of any kind - out of this place of slavery, - this house of boncen, God, by a strong and mighty arm, redeemed them; and was now actually guiding them to a land where they were to eat bread without scarceness; where God alone should be their King - where they were to have the essence of civil liberty -and, with all other good things, the means of grace, and the hope of glory. All these were obligations of the highest kind, and reasons why they should receive His laws immediately from Himself; and take them for the regulators of their heart, and the rule of their conduct. There are two points of view under which this Law of God appears both singular and important. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
