X. The Wonderful Works of God are to be A SSE R M O ON THE DAY OF ANNUAL THANKSGIVING, November 29, i' 94* BY DAVID OSGOOD, A. M. fASTOR OF THE CHURCH IS MEDFORD. PSALM CXI. 4. He bath made his wonderful vorks to be remembered. The works of God are usually diftin- j guilhed into those of creation, and those of j providence. By the former, we- under stand the stretching forth and garnilhing I of the Heaven*, the forming, and reple nilhing of the earth, and the originating | of the prefect order and course of nature, j By the latter, are meant the continued preservation, the upholding and govern- j ing of all these things ; and the fu- [ perintending of *11 events, both in the ] natural and moral world. All these are j great and wonderful works, worthy to be ! had in constant remembrance by every ra tional fpedtator. They make God to be remembered; nay they are so many memorials of him, witnessing his eternal power and Godhead, his overflowing be nignity, and his care of, and kindnels to wards his creatures. They who have any taste for intellect u al and moral pleasures, who are capable of relifbing what is grand and sublime, will delight in prying into, and contem plating those great and wonderful works of creation and providence. To this purpose it is observed in the context, that the works of the Lord being great honorable and glorious, they will be fought out or fnvclligsted by all, them who have plea sure therein. By these works the Psalmist has special reference to the more signal dispensations of Providence in his dealing with his coven an' people, thedefcendants of Abraham his friend. In these. dispensati ons he set before them ' the mod ltriking illustrations of his cha ra£ler and glorious perfections. They often saw him, on one occasion and another, triumphing o ver the falfe gods of the heathen around them, executing judgment upon their vain idols, and confounding their flupid worihippers. They saw his infinite power displayed in analmoft continued series of miraculous operations; his justice in the exemplary punilhment of cruel opprtffors; his mercy in numberless affecting instan ces towards tliemfelves ; and his truth and faithfulnefs in the exadl fulfilments of his promises and predictions. These things were intended to make lasting impreflions on their minds—such as might not be easi ly or speedily effaced. The wonderful works of Provideuce are wrought for this very purpose, that by beholding them, men may be so affected, as to have God continually in their thoughts, and thereby be led to fear and serve him. J.P" The text may teach us, that the more signal mercies of Heaven tewards us, and those more remarkable deliverances which at any time, have been wrought in our favor, ought to be gratefully rfmembered. and thankfully acknowledged by us. These things are some of the chief beau ties and moil biilliant pages in that bock of Providence, which it highly concerns us daily to read and study. This book in deed contains the whole hiftcry of God's dealings with mankind, from age to age , in which he difplavs his moral perfedlions to the view of his rational offspring. The clear light of eternity will lhow e very part of this volume to be full of meaning ; and such an explanation will be then given to those palfages, which are now efleemei! dark and mysterious, as will u.cicce en- remembered. DELIVER. SO raptured faints, with aftoniihment to ex claim. 0 the depth of the luijdom andkno :v ---ledge of God ! But while we dwell in this land of lhadows and obfeurity, we fee only but a fjmali proportion of what God does ; and having such limited views of his difpenfatious, it is no wonder if we be unable* to comprehend the meaning of par ticular events. There are many, however, which con tain such linking illustrations of the di vine attributes, efpeciallv of the divine mer cy and goodness, that we can be at no loss about them. Not a few of these have fal len within our own observation ; and many others our ears have heard, and our fathers have told US. God ex- pedis and requires, that we gather then up as treasure, and carefully preferv. them in our memories. They are in them selves memorable ; and he hath dom them, that they might be remembered b} us. Of course, he is highly oiTendec when men forget his works, and the won ders which he hath fhewcd them- Sue! behaviour reflets upon the Diviue Ma jefty, as though his method of governing the'world, and his dealings with his crea tyres, were not worthy of our attention The misery ar.d deftrutfßJHof men are regarding the work of fltcs*°r J, nor conii dering the operationrfttjp hands. Anc it is certain, that the frequent review ol the more flriking dispensations of Provi dence is of excellent use to confirm us ir the be.let", and to excite us to the praclict of true religion.

At certain periods of time, through the several aget and among the different nationi of the world, God breaks forth in signal and rcmatkable difpenfatiom punishment of the wicked. His pro vidence is seen jullifying its own proce dure in vindicating and delivering op prefifed innoccnce, or in precipitatinc prosperous guilt from its lotty O r these occasions, God is known by tin these extraordinary proofs of his pre sence and power, men are conftrainet to fay, Verily there is a reward for th, righteous : verily there is it God that juJ jeth in the earth. And when we are once eftablifhec in the belief of such a gre<.t arid glori dus Being, this faith will naturallj prompt us to fear and fervehim.
