Will in a marvellous manner produce, as it were by a new Work of Creation.

A Pillar of Cloud and Fire, like that wherewith the Lord directed and protected and honoured the Israelites, when they came out of Egy[illegible: 1+ letters]t: Whereby he implies, That God would be their Protector, and their Glory.

Upon all that Church and People, which God will make so glorious, not onely in his own Eyes, but even in the Eyes of the World; upon all holy Assemblies of sincere Christians.
