they_o be_v most_o for_o their_o good_a but_o my_o people_n know_v not_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o lord_n i._n e._n they_o heed_v not_o that_o judgement_n which_o by_o all_o mark_n and_o token_n they_o may_v easy_o perceive_v god_n be_v bring_v upon_o they_o the_o church_n therefore_o when_o she_o will_v declare_v and_o manifest_v her_o integrity_n she_o say_v yea_o 26.8_o isai_n 26.8_o in_o the_o way_n of_o thy_o judgement_n o_o lord_n have_v we_o wait_v for_o thou_o i._n e._n we_o have_v trace_v the_o footstep_n of_o thy_o judgement_n we_o have_v discover_v the_o print_n and_o appearance_n of_o they_o and_o according_o we_o have_v compose_v ourselves_o to_o wait_v upon_o thou_o and_o that_o this_o be_v every_o holy_a man_n duty_n will_v appear_v from_o these_o reason_n first_o reas_n 1_o because_o this_o be_v the_o end_n why_o god_n do_v send_v these_o forerunner_n that_o they_o may_v be_v take_v notice_n of_o as_o when_o god_n make_v the_o rainbow_n to_o be_v a_o token_n of_o the_o covenant_n between_o himself_o and_o noah_n he_o say_v 9.14_o gen._n 9.14_o my_o how_o shall_v be_v see_v in_o the_o cloud_n i._n e._n it_o shall_v not_o be_v place_v idle_o there_o but_o as_o it_o be_v summon_v the_o eye_n of_o every_o beholder_n to_o observe_v it_o so_o when_o god_n set_v some_o lightning_n and_o overture_n of_o a_o tempest_n to_o precede_v his_o thunder_n he_o lose_v his_o design_n if_o such_o as_o profess_v to_o fear_v his_o name_n do_v not_o regard_v they_o therefore_o the_o psalmist_n threaten_v the_o wicked_a 28.5_o psal_n 28.5_o because_o they_o regard_v not_o the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n nor_o the_o operation_n of_o his_o hand_n he_o shall_v destroy_v they_o and_o not_o build_v they_o up_o intimate_v that_o to_o be_v incurious_a and_o indiligent_a heeder_n of_o any_o of_o god_n work_n especial_o of_o his_o work_n of_o mercy_n will_v only_o add_v wing_n and_o weight_n unto_o his_o judgement_n to_o make_v they_o more_o speedy_a and_o withal_o more_o intolerable_a second_o reas_n 2_o this_o will_v make_v the_o godly_a more_o than_o ordinary_o careful_a and_o observant_a of_o their_o way_n as_o when_o no_o enemy_n be_v near_o the_o soldier_n be_v apt_a to_o relax_v his_o discipline_n but_o when_o he_o perceive_v either_o the_o rise_n of_o the_o dust_n or_o the_o neigh_n of_o horse_n present_o he_o buckle_v on_o his_o arm_n and_o prepare_v himself_o for_o the_o combat_n so_o be_v the_o case_n between_o god_n and_o we_o while_o we_o conceive_v that_o he_o be_v at_o peace_n with_o we_o and_o all_o be_v well_o we_o be_v apt_a to_o slumber_n and_o sleep_v 25.6_o matth._n 25.6_o as_o even_o the_o wise_a virgin_n in_o the_o parable_n do_v and_o herein_o keep_v company_n with_o the_o foolish_a but_o when_o we_o perceive_v that_o god_n be_v angry_a and_o by_o some_o evident_a symptom_n of_o his_o wrath_n we_o can_v read_v that_o he_o be_v prepare_v his_o thunderbolt_n and_o aim_v they_o at_o the_o wicked_a this_o will_v awaken_v we_o to_o look_v to_o our_o stand_n and_o to_o provide_v some_o shelter_n against_o the_o impend_a storm_n when_o the_o judgement_n be_v actual_o come_v than_o the_o prophet_n tell_v we_o 26.9_o isai_n 26.9_o that_o even_o the_o wicked_a will_v learn_v righteousness_n how_o much_o more_o shall_v the_o godly_a do_v it_o while_o these_o judgement_n be_v come_v for_o than_o be_v their_o time_n to_o run_v into_o their_o hiding-place_n according_a to_o the_o advice_n of_o the_o same_o prophet_n 21._o verse_n 20_o 21._o come_v my_o people_n enter_v thou_o into_o thy_o chamber_n and_o shut_v thy_o door_n about_o thou_o hide_v thyself_o as_o it_o be_v for_o a_o little_a moment_n until_o the_o indignation_n be_v overpast_v for_o behold_v the_o lord_n come_v out_o of_o his_o place_n to_o punish_v the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o their_o iniquity_n wherein_o there_o be_v declare_v not_o only_o that_o the_o people_n of_o god_n may_v discern_v the_o first_o approach_n of_o wrath_n but_o likewise_o that_o then_o they_o ought_v to_o act_v and_o quicken_v their_o faith_n on_o christ_n who_o be_v their_o rock_n and_o refuge_n last_o reas_n 3_o this_o will_v give_v god_n the_o glory_n of_o his_o justice_n and_o likewise_o satisfy_v and_o quiet_v the_o spirit_n of_o his_o people_n when_o at_o last_o god_n do_v proceed_v to_o accomplish_v the_o severity_n of_o his_o judgement_n if_o a_o father_n shall_v sudden_o disinherit_v his_o son_n without_o ever_o discover_v any_o sign_n of_o his_o displeasure_n the_o son_n will_v have_v reason_n to_o be_v discontent_v and_o to_o complain_v of_o harsh_a and_o rigorous_a usage_n but_o when_o the_o parent_n can_v say_v to_o his_o son_n as_o the_o form_n be_v prescribe_v in_o deuteronomy_n thou_o be_v a_o glutton_n and_o a_o drunkard_n 20._o deut._n 21.18_o 20._o and_o likewise_o stubborn_a and_o rebellious_a and_o will_v not_o obey_v my_o voice_n and_o when_o i_o have_v chastened_a thou_o thou_o will_v not_o hearken_v to_o i_o then_o if_o he_o proceed_v to_o take_v a_o legal_a remedy_n none_o can_v blame_v he_o for_o it_o so_o when_o the_o godly_a by_o observe_v the_o sign_n of_o the_o time_n shall_v say_v god_n be_v now_o angry_a and_o unless_o you_o repent_v will_v assure_o bring_v a_o sudden_a judgement_n upon_o you_o if_o at_o last_o the_o overflow_a scourge_n do_v come_v they_o must_v needs_o applaud_v god_n justice_n and_o be_v comfort_v concern_v his_o do_n as_o the_o expression_n be_v 23._o ezek._n 14.22_o 23._o you_o shall_v be_v comfort_v concern_v the_o evil_a that_o i_o have_v bring_v upon_o jerusalem_n and_o they_o shall_v comfort_v you_o when_o you_o see_v their_o way_n and_o their_o do_n and_o you_o shall_v know_v that_o i_o have_v not_o do_v without_o cause_n all_o that_o i_o have_v do_v in_o it_o one_o of_o which_o cause_n be_v their_z not_o attend_v to_o those_o preparatory_a stroke_n and_o item_n of_o future_a vengeance_n whereby_o god_n show_v himself_o willing_a to_o be_v prevent_v and_o therefore_o be_v most_o just_a in_o punish_v use_v the_o use_n of_o it_o shall_v be_v to_o exhort_v all_o we_o of_o this_o nation_n to_o inquire_v whether_o any_o of_o these_o sign_n be_v upon_o we_o and_o that_o we_o may_v do_v so_o the_o best_a way_n will_v be_v to_o examine_v first_o what_o be_v those_o sign_n which_o fatal_o and_o inevitable_o forerun_v some_o great_a and_o signal_n calamity_n to_o find_v out_o this_o our_o only_a way_n be_v not_o to_o depend_v upon_o our_o own_o guess_n or_o to_o follow_v the_o spirit_n and_o conceit_n of_o other_o man_n but_o to_o search_v the_o scripture_n especial_o the_o prophecy_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n for_o we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o those_o prediction_n be_v only_o make_v against_o the_o jew_n but_o they_o equal_o concern_v any_o nation_n which_o succeed_v into_o their_o privilege_n and_o relation_n so_o that_o we_o may_v call_v they_o the_o roll_n of_o heaven_n or_o the_o book_n of_o divine_a providence_n wherein_o we_o may_v read_v and_o assure_o learn_v how_o near_o the_o ruin_n and_o extirpation_n be_v of_o each_o profess_v state_n and_o kingdom_n the_o sign_n which_o be_v there_o register_v be_v such_o as_o these_o first_o sign_n 1_o when_o there_o be_v great_a and_o sudden_a mutation_n in_o that_o course_n and_o order_n which_o god_n have_v appoint_v in_o nature_n god_n have_v already_o fix_v a_o law_n that_o while_o the_o earth_n remain_v 8.22_o gen._n 8.22_o seedtime_n and_o harvest_n and_o cold_a and_o heat_n and_o summer_n and_o

always_o to_o observe_v this_o rule_n but_o that_o he_o will_v ordinary_o do_v this_o without_o alteration_n unless_o the_o sin_n of_o a_o people_n do_v provoke_v he_o for_o then_o as_o he_o speak_v
