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

in_o a_o present_a extremity_n and_o amid_o the_o great_a terror_n of_o sense_n when_o there_o be_v no_o possible_a support_n from_o nature_n or_o thing_n see_v in_o such_o a_o case_n to_o this_o do_v

the_o room_n of_o any_o external_a miracle_n to_o these_o who_o know_v the_o same_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o that_o nature_n as_o exceed_v the_o sphere_n of_o all_o create_a power_n to_o work_v

must_v shut_v up_o this_o with_o two_o serious_a reflection_n on_o the_o present_a juncture_n of_o thing_n as_o may_v be_v too_o obvious_a 1._o that_o it_o be_v now_o some_o year_n past_a since_o a_o unusual_a and_o conspicuous_a signal_n of_o judgement_n have_v be_v give_v not_o only_o to_o these_o nation_n but_o to_o the_o whole_a reform_a church_n in_o that_o astonish_a stroke_n and_o devastation_n of_o the_o church_n of_o france_n where_o have_v be_v a_o pluck_n up_o of_o what_o be_v so_o eminent_o plant_v there_o and_o cast_v down_o of_o what_o be_v build_v so_o as_o for_o a_o time_n the_o candlestick_n be_v remove_v thence_o this_o i_o must_v confess_v have_v have_v to_o i_o a_o more_o sad_a and_o affright_a aspect_n that_o the_o correspondence_n which_o be_v this_o day_n in_o the_o public_a state_n of_o the_o reform_a church_n do_v so_o evident_o in_o as_o high_a a_o prevalence_n of_o sin_n and_o of_o waste_a distemper_n if_o not_o in_o a_o high_a degree_n than_o can_v be_v than_o charge_v on_o that_o church_n 2._o that_o when_o the_o holy_a god_n set_v up_o so_o great_a and_o eminent_a a_o beacon_n as_o such_o a_o ruin_n be_v this_o day_n in_o our_o sight_n he_o do_v usual_o for_o some_o time_n allow_v it_o to_o be_v warn_v and_o awaken_n to_o other_o place_n for_o who_o it_o be_v design_v and_o herein_o as_o to_o this_o instance_n have_v he_o gracious_o hold_v his_o hand_n that_o the_o outcast_a of_o his_o people_n there_o may_v have_v both_o a_o retreat_n and_o relief_n in_o other_o church_n but_o oh_o when_o the_o intent_n of_o such_o a_o astonish_a beacon_n be_v not_o answer_v and_o cease_v to_o be_v affect_v to_o our_o spirit_n as_o at_o the_o first_o i_o must_v refer_v it_o to_o the_o thought_n and_o enquiry_n of_o other_o whether_o the_o design_n of_o such_o a_o rod_n as_o have_v be_v there_o raise_v and_o make_v use_n of_o for_o judgement_n and_o break_v down_o as_o well_o as_o trial_n be_v yet_o sist_v and_o have_v no_o further_a work_n for_o the_o same_o interest_n and_o vindication_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n as_o to_o other_o of_o the_o church_n or_o if_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n now_o to_o fear_v that_o the_o dregs_o of_o such_o a_o cup_n be_v not_o yet_o wring_v out_o which_o may_v be_v fear_v to_o be_v more_o severe_a at_o last_o than_o what_o be_v in_o the_o first_o part_n thereof_o if_o grace_n do_v not_o in_o a_o singular_a way_n interpose_v and_o it_o be_v on_o that_o account_n my_o heart_n can_v but_o meditate_v terror_n this_o day_n finis_fw-la
