Vse How iustly doth this reproue a number of iesting and careles people amongst vs who when they heare tell of the euill day and that it is possible for our Land for our Kingdome to be punished to be plagued with some grieuous scourge or other by the Almightie they flout in the sleeue as at some scurilous and ridiculous tale much like the last-dayes Rebells that Peter speakes of Where is the promise of his comming l 2 Pet. 3.3 taking after the sonnes in Law of Lot vnto whom when he told them of the destruction of Sodom he seemed to mocke m Gen. 19.14 as though this were a matter to be iested at to be laughed at I trow the Lord hath begunne with vs alreadie if we could yea if we would see it It is true I confesse our Land may be called the very excellencie of Iacob n Amos. 6.8 of all places in Christendome none in priuiledges especially in that * Magna illa praerogatiua dominica religionis Salu. de Pro. l. 8. p. 271. great priuiledge of true Religion haue gone beyond vs in the abundance of heauenly wisedome in the plentie of holy wise Christians most Countries come behinde vs yet the poynt in hand intimateth that plagues may hang ouer places where Religion and religous ones bee Is it then a sufficient cause of derision to say iudgements may be approching OVR kingdome Foure yeeres agoe the Lord had a wise and vnderstanding people in the Palatinate yet the euill which hath since befallen it was euen at that time imminent ouer it Well THERE iudgement is begunne o 1 Pet. 4.17 where it will stay God knoweth Can WEE onely looke to escape Scot-free Were the naturall branches not spared p Rom. 11.21 and is it impossible for VS a part of the wilde Oliue to be spoyled Had not Gods mercie beene Our Rampart q Mal. 3.8 wee had beene consumed ere this time Cannot God be possibly prouoked amongst Vs Is it not possible for him to abhorre and loath Vs I doubt not but ere I haue done I shall too manifestly declare that it is past the peraduenture or it may be and come to this that God IS prouoked amongst vs IS most strongly incited to detest vs. Wherefore cease thy mocking whosoeuer thou art and this carelesse putting away the euill day from before thine eyes least as now the Word of reproofe meetes with thee so the day of vengeance ouer-takee thee like a snare or a theefe in the night ere thou art aware * 2.
