Overview

Excerpt from A Discourse, Occasioned by the Death of Hon. Daniel Webster: Preached in Newburyport, Sunday, October 31, 1852 Of Moses. They knew the terrors of the Lord, as well as his mercv. And they had seen also how much their prosperity rested upon the favor Of God, and a strict Obedience to his commands. With power, therefore, and out of the convictions Of their own hearts, they could instruct and lead the people in those ways, upon which the blessing of God had rested at first: which alone could se cure the enjoyment Of that blessing in time to come. And so Israel served the Lord and was prospered all their days. But alter them, Of necessity, there could come none like them. Those to whom they had handed the torch of life, and the reins of government, had only the hearing of the ear for all these works Of God. And amidst the multitude of the gifts they forgot the giver. The very abundance of their blessings Shut out God from their View. And the children of those, whom God, in his abounding mercy, had delivered from Egyptian bondage, and had led through the Red Sea, and by the way of the waste howling wilderness, and over Jordan, - to whom he had Spoken in Sinai, and before whom he drave out all the inhabitants of the land, giving them a goodly inheritance - even these lapsed into ignorance of their God. They worshipped Baalim, and provoked the Lord Je hovah, until he delivered them into the hands of the spoiler, and sold them to their enemies round about, so that they could not stand before their enemies.
