Either to congratulate thy deliverance, or the respect that should be shewn them by other Nations upon their deliverance or rather▪ shall be allured by thy light to c[illegible: 1+ letters]me to thee, as Travellers in a dark night, and out of their way, when a light discovers itself, do make to it, so the Doctrine of the Gospel shall shine so bright, and be made so conspicuous by preaching, and miracles, that they shall not only congratulate them, and wish them much joy, but rejoyce and participate with them in their happiness, Rev. 21. 24.

See ch. 49. 23. To observe thy progress, and how thou shalt encrease by degrees, as the Su[illegible: 1+ letters] in its ascending; In Christs time there were 12 Apostles, afterwards 120 Disciples, in a short time many thousands, then the Church grew into Congregations, and then to spread Nations.
