Jer. 4.22 Is not this the condition of many Christians as well as the Jews The Prophet saith Pour out thy Wrath upon the Heathen that know thee not and upon the Families that call not upon thy Name for they have eaten up Jacob and devoured him and consumed him and have made his Habitation desolate Must not Gods Fury come upon these Men-eaters that eat Jacob the beloved of God and devoured him and make his Habitation dolate Jerem. 10.25 And David saith Pour out thy Wrath upon the Heathen that have not known thee and upon the Kingdomes that have not called upon thy Name for they have devoured Jacob and laid wast his dwelling-place Psal 79.6 7. Gods Fury will be poured upon such that devoureth the Righteous and lay wast his dwelling-place And you may see in Jer. 51. They that are founders of Graven Images or Molten Images are bruitish by their Knowledge which are the works of errour and shall perish And the Lord saith A draught is upon her Waters namely Babylon and they shall be dryed up for it is a Land of Graven Images and they are Mad upon their Idols Jer. 50.38 Upon such God brings Draughts and Famine who disobey and forsake the Living God and dote upon their Idols and Images which they make And the Lord frustrateth the tokens of Liars and maketh the Diviners Mad and turneth Wisemen backward and maketh their Knowledge Foolish and hath not this been seen and fulfilled Isai 44.25 And the Lord saith They eat up the Sins of my People and they set their Hearts on their Iniquity and there shall be like Priest like People and I will punish them for their ways and reward them for their Doings Hosea 8.9 And the Lord saith to Daniel The Wicked shall do wickedly and none of the Wicked shall understand but the Wise shall understand Daniel 12.10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom and the Secrets of the Lord are with them that fear him and the Lord taketh care for them that fear him as in Exod. 1.21 therefore it is good to live in the fear of the Lord which ye must if ye know his Secrets The cause of Draught and Barrenness Famine and Plagues for disobeying the Lord and grieving his Spirit THe cause of Draught Barrenness and Famine The Lord turneth Rivers into a Wilderness and the Water Springs into Dry Ground and turneth a Fruitful Land into Barrenness for the Wickedness of them that dwell therein Mark it is for the Wickedness of them that dwell therein Psal 107.33 34. And you may see them that disobeyed the Lord and forsook him and because of the Wickedness of their doings the Lord will smite such with Consumptions and Feavors and Botches and Blastings and Mill-dews until they perish I will saith the Lord smite them with Madness and Blindness and astonishment of Heart and the Locust and the Wormes shall consume and devour their Fruits and the Heavens that are over thy Head shall be as Brass and the Earth that is under thee shall be Iron and the Lord will make the Rain of thy Land Powder and Dust and will smite thee with the Botches of Egypt and with the Emrods Scab and Itch that thou canst not be healed and this is the portion of them that disobey the Lord and forsake him as in Deut. 28. you may see more at large and how the Curse followeth the Wicked and Disobedient in City and Field and upon themselves and their Flocks and the Fruits of their Land yea the Plagues and Judgments that he poured upon Egypt he poureth upon them that disobey him and grieve and rebel against his Spirit And the Lord sent the Prophet Gad unto David when he caused Joab to number the People and said unto him Shall Seven Years of Famine come upon the Land or wilt thou fly Three Months before thine Enemies whilest they pursue thee or that there be Three Dayes Pestilence in thy Land 2 Sam. 24. And did not this action of David bring Death and Destruction of Seventy Thousand of the Jews through Davids hearkning to the Temptation of Satan as in the 1 Chro. 21. but David repented and the Lord staid the hand of the destroying Angel that Jerusalem was not destroyed And did not the Lord call for a Famine and it came upon the Land seven Years as in 2 Kings 8.1 and was not this because of their Wickedness And in Jer. 11.22 Doth not the Lord there punish Judah for his Idolatry and said That his Sons and Daughters should die by Famine And in Jer. 14.12 There the Lord said to the Jews that disobeyed him When they Fast I will not hear them nor accept their Offerings but said I will consume them by Famine and by Pestilence c. and likewise you may see in Jer. 15. how the Lord saith concerning the Rebellious and Disobedient jews and the Wickedness of Manasses he threateneth Death Captivity and Famine c. against them and likewise you may see in Jer. 18.21 how the Lord threatens Famine and Judgments against the Jews for their revolting from the Lord and in Jer. 44.13 See how the Lord threateneth the disobedient by Famine and Pestilence and the Lord threateneth his Plagues and Judgments concerning Babylon and saith A draught is upon the Waters and they shall be dryed up for it is a Land of Graven Images and they are mad upon their Idols And therefore let all that disobey the Lord and make Graven Images and Idols and worship them beware of these Judgments Jer. 50.38 And Ezekiel he declareth the Judgments upon Jerusalem for their rebelling against God how that they should die and be consumed with Famine and Pestilence in Ezek. 5.12 and likewise in Ezek. 6. you may see the Judgments upon Israel for their Idolatry the Lord saith he would Pour his Fury upon them and they shall die by Pestilence and Famine And the Lord saith he would Leave a few of the Jews that should escape from the Pestilence and Famine and that these Jews that escaped might declare their own Abominations among the Heathen Ezek. 12.16 and in Isa 14. you may see how the Lord threatened the Assyrians with Famine and Pestilence Thus saith the Lord because of mine House that is wast yea every Man runneth to his own house therefore the Heaven over you is stayed from Dew and the Earth is stayed from her Fruit and I called for a draught upon the Land and upon the Mountaines and upon the Corn and upon the New Wine and upon the Oyl and upon this which the ground bringeth forth and upon Men and upon Cattel and upon all the Labour of their Hands Haggai 1.10 11. Here you may see the reason of the Judgments of God because People mind their own Houses and Business and Wills more then the Lords And did not the Three Years Famine and Six Months come upon the Children of Israel because of their turning from the Lord and Rebelling against his Law
