A39754	A discourse of earthquakes as they are supernatural and premonitory signs to a nation with a respect to what hath occurred in this year 1692, and some special reflections thereon : as also on that security and assurance of mind which is attainable in the light and power by the author of The fulfilling of the Scriptures.	Fleming, Robert, 1630-1694.	1693 (1693)	Wing F1264; ESTC R32433	59,710	152

more_o before_o the_o close_a of_o time_n be_v no_o less_o wonderful_a in_o the_o swift_a course_n and_o conquest_n of_o grace_n both_o as_o to_o jew_n and_o gentile_n than_o it_o be_v at_o that_o

beyond_o all_o that_o ever_o follow_v upon_o this_o account_n make_v wonderful_a and_o glorious_a when_o one_o day_n bring_v at_o once_o forth_o the_o sun_n moon_n and_o star_n and_o set_v they_o in_o

it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n may_v seem_v to_o control_v any_o swift_a motion_n and_o course_n of_o providence_n in_o his_o procedure_n this_o day_n when_o the_o wheel_n do_v to_o our_o sense_n stand_v still_o and_o thing_n yet_o keep_v in_o a_o suspense_n as_o to_o any_o great_a or_o remarkable_a decision_n in_o the_o public_a state_n of_o affair_n yea_o when_o after_o such_o expectation_n now_o for_o a_o considerable_a time_n there_o be_v so_o strange_a a_o interval_n of_o silence_n as_o to_o the_o work_n of_o god_n in_o this_o part_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o

of_o heart_n what_o the_o event_n may_v be_v ever_o long_o of_o such_o a_o astonish_a calm_a and_o stop_n but_o in_o order_n to_o this_o let_v i_o humble_o speak_v a_o few_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v 1._o how_o in_o all_o time_n of_o the_o church_n it_o have_v be_v make_v observable_a that_o when_o the_o lord_n be_v to_o bring_v forth_o some_o great_a work_n of_o judgement_n on_o the_o world_n and_o on_o particular_a nation_n he_o do_v not_o only_o reenforced_v warning_n and_o give_v time_n herein_o to_o answer_v his_o call_n but_o even_o when_o his_o hand_n be_v lift_v up_o will_v yet_o hold_v the_o same_o but_o where_o the_o most_o signal_n delay_v and_o forbearance_n have_v go_v before_o it_o be_v sure_a the_o more_o dreadful_a and_o sad_a be_v the_o stroke_n when_o it_o come_v at_o last_o 2._o though_o there_o need_v a_o divine_a light_n to_o make_v a_o right_a estimate_n and_o judgement_n of_o thing_n which_o relate_v to_o the_o present_a day_n yet_o if_o man_n admit_v reason_n it_o may_v be_v too_o easy_a to_o see_v that_o there_o be_v no_o slow_a motion_n in_o the_o visible_a tendency_n of_o thing_n as_o they_o now_o move_v in_o these_o three_o nation_n to_o some_o fatal_a and_o sudden_a period_n except_o these_o thing_n which_o shall_v thus_o awaken_v our_o fear_n have_v a_o more_o special_a influence_n to_o direct_v unto_o these_o duty_n which_o may_v yet_o prevent_v the_o same_o for_o even_o judicious_a reason_n may_v prophecy_n what_o aspect_n such_o evil_n have_v as_o by_o a_o native_a and_o unavoidable_a result_n have_v the_o most_o near_o and_o immediate_a influence_n on_o a_o nation_n ruin_n when_o they_o be_v come_v to_o that_o height_n as_o will_v admit_v no_o cure_n and_o when_o the_o most_o numerous_a part_n of_o a_o protestant_a profession_n therein_o be_v so_o visible_o state_v in_o enmity_n to_o other_o pursuing_z different_z and_o contrary_a interest_n as_o can_v but_o lay_v a_o dead_a lift_n on_o all_o public_a act_n this_o day_n when_o also_o the_o contagion_n of_o example_n be_v so_o prevalent_a and_o mortal_a but_o the_o comfort_n thereof_o so_o rare_a as_o to_o any_o of_o a_o true_o raise_v and_o heroic_a spirit_n and_o if_o we_o look_v to_o these_o who_o have_v a_o lead_a interest_n in_o these_o nation_n as_o to_o their_o station_n and_o quality_n how_o few_o of_o such_o may_v be_v now_o find_v who_o ancestor_n have_v a_o eminent_a appearance_n for_o god_n in_o their_o day_n that_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o their_o father_n rest_v on_o they_o but_o now_o in_o the_o 3d._a place_n i_o must_v crave_v leave_n to_o speak_v a_o little_a more_o full_o in_o order_n to_o a_o try_v and_o inquisitive_a judgement_n on_o a_o very_a great_a and_o affect_a head_n what_o it_o shall_v mean_v that_o there_o be_v such_o threaten_a appearance_n of_o hazard_n to_o britain_n from_o the_o french_a power_n in_o these_o time_n we_o be_v in_o i_o know_v it_o may_v seem_v a_o hopeful_a sign_n that_o such_o a_o party_n as_o we_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o be_v such_o also_o against_o who_o the_o blood_n of_o thousand_o of_o protestant_n be_v cry_n to_o heaven_n and_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o the_o holy_a god_n will_v in_o due_a time_n avenge_v these_o strange_a measure_n of_o cruelty_n exercise_v there_o upon_o the_o house_n of_o bourbon_n and_o have_v indignation_n against_o that_o race_n until_o the_o sun_n cease_v to_o rise_v and_o set_v but_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n i_o must_v speak_v that_o sure_o there_o seem_v something_o in_o a_o unusual_a way_n threaten_v in_o the_o present_a aspect_n of_o this_o adversary_n on_o which_o i_o shall_v offer_v a_o few_o serious_a reflection_n 1._o that_o for_o several_a year_n pass_v there_o have_v be_v such_o remarkable_a evidence_n of_o

manner_n do_v he_o bear_v testimony_n to_o the_o divinity_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o suffering_n by_o such_o a_o tremendous_a earthquake_n as_o a_o immediate_a and_o supernatural_a sign_n in_o which_o sense_n through_o the_o scripture_n as_o it_o be_v ever_o give_v as_o a_o extraordinary_a appearance_n of_o god_n for_o some_o special_a end_n so_o it_o be_v unquestionable_a the_o great_a commenter_n we_o have_v on_o the_o scripture_n be_v that_o which_o be_v write_v by_o the_o finger_n of_o god_n himself_o in_o his_o work_n 3._o it_o be_v with_o a_o undeniable_a evidence_n we_o see_v a_o supernatural_a influence_n and_o causality_n in_o such_o a_o providence_n have_v in_o all_o age_n be_v matter_n of_o solemn_a observation_n upon_o these_o remarkable_a event_n have_v follow_v such_o a_o sign_n so_o as_o in_o the_o most_o judicious_a record_n of_o history_n we_o do_v rare_o find_v the_o one_o mention_v without_o respect_n to_o the_o other_o thus_o josephus_n do_v most_o punctual_o relate_v these_o earthquake_n that_o do_v so_o near_o preside_v the_o destruction_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o the_o expiration_n of_o the_o judaical_a state_n as_o they_o be_v predict_v by_o our_o lord_n himself_o matth._n 24._o 7._o 4._o yea_o it_o be_v beyond_o question_n how_o sometime_o such_o earthquake_n fall_v out_o with_o these_o tremendous_a circumstance_n and_o clear_a evidence_n of_o a_o immediate_a divine_a appearance_n as_o serve_v a_o constraint_n herewith_o on_o a_o natural_a conscience_n to_o see_v and_o acknowledge_v a_o supernatural_a cause_n and_o that_o they_o have_v some_o extraordinary_a commission_n so_o as_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a then_o for_o the_o worst_a of_o man_n to_o keep_v off_o the_o terror_n and_o impression_n of_o a_o invisible_a god_n and_o we_o see_v little_a what_o interest_n the_o ministry_n of_o the_o angel_n have_v herein_o who_o have_v sure_o a_o more_o peculiar_a delegation_n and_o service_n in_o such_o extraordinary_a act_n of_o providence_n 5._o as_o it_o be_v needful_a to_o understand_v the_o rule_n of_o providence_n ere_o we_o can_v discern_v aright_o the_o seal_n append_v thereto_o so_o be_v it_o evident_a that_o a_o great_a and_o stupendous_a earthquake_n be_v foretell_v to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o strange_a event_n of_o the_o last_o trumpet_n which_o must_v assure_o take_v place_n in_o these_o last_o time_n and_o have_v a_o literal_a accomplishment_n and_o though_o its_o appearance_n than_o will_v be_v something_o we_o may_v judge_v of_o a_o extraordinary_a kind_n with_o some_o astonish_a mark_n of_o judgement_n yet_o be_v the_o intent_n of_o that_o prediction_n clear_v herein_o that_o when_o there_o be_v any_o appearance_n of_o god_n this_o way_n it_o call_v the_o world_n to_o a_o very_a solemn_a and_o awful_a regard_n of_o the_o same_o and_o for_o some_o correspondent_a act_n of_o reverence_n and_o homage_n as_o be_v suitable_a to_o a_o providence_n whereon_o he_o do_v put_v so_o signal_n a_o impress_n of_o his_o terror_n and_o greatness_n but_o it_o be_v well_o if_o man_n spirit_n be_v more_o prepare_v and_o inclinable_a not_o only_o to_o entertain_v any_o such_o intimation_n with_o reverence_n and_o fear_n of_o the_o divine_a majesty_n but_o to_o improve_v the_o same_o for_o a_o great_a strengthen_n of_o their_o own_o faith_n of_o his_o glorious_a be_v and_o of_o the_o divinity_n of_o his_o word_n when_o it_o be_v also_o direct_v for_o such_o a_o end_n a_o second_o enquiry_n upon_o this_o subject_a and_o of_o great_a use_n be_v what_o may_v be_v more_o special_o judge_v as_o the_o ground_n of_o any_o such_o extraordinary_a warning_n and_o sign_n to_o a_o nation_n where_o god_n have_v clear_o reveal_v his_o counsel_n and_o judgement_n by_o his_o word_n and_o of_o his_o make_n use_v thereof_o though_o here_o the_o sovereignty_n of_o his_o will_n shall_v both_o silence_n and_o subject_v our_o spirit_n in_o such_o a_o case_n yet_o there_o can_v be_v no_o darkness_n therein_o to_o any_o of_o a_o serious_a and_o judicious_a spirit_n when_o they_o see_v 1._o such_o a_o suitable_a congruity_n therewith_o to_o that_o tenderness_n which_o the_o son_n of_o

more_o extraordinary_a warning_n of_o some_o great_a and_o unusual_a stroke_n of_o judgement_n ere_o it_o come_v so_o as_o nothing_o may_v be_v want_v either_o to_o reclaim_v or_o render_v such_o a_o

when_o no_o application_n of_o light_n to_o the_o judgement_n either_o from_o his_o word_n or_o work_n in_o a_o ordinary_a way_n do_v prevail_v when_o his_o name_n be_v in_o so_o visible_a a_o way_n
