GREAT BRITAIN AND HER COLONIES,

Founded on unqueflionable EXAMPLES OF
GOD'S TEMPORAL VENGEANCE

AGAINST

Tyrants, Slave-holders, and Oppreffors.
The Examples are selected from Predictions in the Old
Teftament, of NATIONAL JUDGEMENTS, which (being
compared with their actual Accomplishment) demonftrate
"the fure Word of Prophecy," as well as the immediate
Interpofition of DIVINE PROVIDENCE, to recompence
impenitent NATIONS according to their Works.

By GRANVILLE SHARP.

"The People of the Land have used Oppression, and exercised Robbery,
" and have vexed the Poor and Needy: yea, they have OPPRESS-
"ED THE STRANGER WRONGFULLY," &c. “There-
"fore have I poured out mine Indignation upon them," &c.
"Their OWN WAY have I recompenfed upon their Heads, faith the
Lord God."
Ezek. xxii. 29-31.
