Nehemiah9:22

Verſe 22. Moreover, thou gaveſt them Kingdomes and Nations] God gave them all; for he is the true proprietary, he pulleth down one, and ſetteth up another. This, Nebuchadnezzar acknowledged (after he had been turned a grazing,) and Charles the Fifth, Emperour of Germany, who in twenty eight battles in America waged by Cortez and Pizarro won eight and twenty Kingdomes.Prideaux. Introduct. And what a world of Nations are ſwallowed up in the greatneſſe of the Turkiſh Empire? America hath the hapineſſe to be out of their reach.

So they poſſeſſed the land of Sihon] Gods favours muſt not be mentioned in the lump onely, and by whole-ſale; but particularly enumerated and celebrated.
