improve_v so_o remarkable_a a_o providence_n upon_o the_o english_a plantation_n in_o jamaica_n which_o be_v therefore_o to_o be_v repute_v a_o part_n of_o england_n itself_o and_o the_o so_o gentle_a and_o tender_a admonition_n of_o that_o motion_n of_o the_o earth_n among_o ourselves_o as_o also_o on_o other_o part_n i_o will_v discourse_v they_o first_o as_o a_o argument_n to_o repentance_n and_o then_o that_o they_o be_v a_o prediction_n of_o a_o great_a change_n on_o the_o world_n 1._o i_o first_o consider_v that_o of_o jamaica_n which_o we_o must_v needs_o acknowledge_v a_o part_n of_o ourselves_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v to_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o england_n though_o beyond_o the_o sea_n and_o so_o we_o be_v all_o equal_o therein_o concern_v particular_o that_o many_o of_o we_o have_v interest_n and_o relation_n that_o suffer_v in_o it_o we_o be_v therefore_o near_o concern_v and_o so_o be_v strong_o call_v upon_o to_o repentance_n by_o it_o and_o the_o more_o that_o it_o fall_v so_o particular_o upon_o that_o town_n or_o port_n that_o bear_v the_o ensign_n of_o sovereignty_n and_o government_n call_v port_n royal_a that_o be_v the_o key_n of_o the_o island_n and_o plantation_n the_o port_n and_o harbour_n the_o seat_n of_o the_o king_n house_n and_o of_o the_o house_n of_o the_o most_o considerable_a merchant_n and_o trader_n and_o of_o the_o defence_n and_o strength_n of_o the_o place_n by_o its_o bastion_n and_o fortification_n 2._o i_o consider_v that_o the_o judgement_n bear_v a_o very_a great_a resemblance_n to_o the_o judgement_n on_o sodom_n and_o gomorrah_n for_o the_o thunder_n and_o lightning_n and_o ball_n of_o fire_n that_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n according_a to_o the_o most_o credible_a account_n of_o eye-witness_n though_o the_o town_n be_v not_o that_o i_o have_v hear_v touch_v by_o the_o fire_n carry_v the_o signature_n of_o sodom_n judgement_n after_o a_o serene_a rise_n of_o the_o sun_n which_o must_v be_v by_o a_o earthquake_n and_o inundation_n for_o the_o earthquake_n and_o inundation_n be_v in_o the_o suddenness_n and_o dreadful_a desolation_n and_o destruction_n that_o it_o make_v how_o like_a to_o that_o which_o turn_v sodom_n into_o a_o lake_n or_o dead_a sea_n to_o this_o day_n and_o herein_o what_o be_v short_a of_o sodom_n judgement_n in_o the_o fire_n be_v make_v up_o in_o the_o dread_a of_o the_o earthquake_n and_o so_o many_o about_o 2000_o person_n perish_v as_o by_o that_o new_o sober_a publish_v account_n before_o name_v appear_v a_o shade_n of_o the_o place_n and_o of_o the_o part_n on_o which_o the_o earthquake_n have_v great_a power_n be_v give_v in_o it_o from_o hence_o then_o i_o argue_v 1._o that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v ascribe_v to_o natural_a cause_n any_o other_o way_n than_o as_o the_o supreme_a counsel_n and_o be_v have_v all_o cause_n in_o his_o hand_n and_o at_o his_o dispose_n if_o it_o have_v be_v only_o a_o earthquake_n and_o inundation_n there_o have_v appear_v less_o of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o supreme_a dominion_n but_o when_o there_o be_v a_o correspondence_n and_o as_o it_o be_v intelligence_n between_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o sea_n above_o and_o below_o it_o lead_v we_o to_o consider_v he_o who_o do_v whatever_o he_o please_v in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n and_o in_o all_o deep_a place_n he_o cause_v the_o vapour_n to_o ascend_v from_o the_o earth_n he_o make_v lightning_n for_o the_o rain_n he_o bring_v the_o wind_n out_o of_o his_o treasure_n psal_n 135.6_o 7._o be_v not_o man_n resolve_v as_o pharaoh_n to_o stand_v up_o like_o rock_n against_o god_n they_o must_v needs_o acknowledge_v he_o in_o this_o the_o work_n of_o god_n his_o judgement_n on_o sodom_n of_o old_a be_v a_o ensample_n to_o all_o after_o age_n how_o much_o more_o this_o so_o upon_o our_o own_o time_n on_o who_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n be_v come_v though_o we_o have_v no_o share_n in_o it_o but_o it_o be_v upon_o another_o people_n how_o much_o more_o when_o so_o upon_o ourselves_o though_o in_o another_o climate_n 2._o i_o consider_v as_o a_o further_a argument_n to_o repentance_n herein_o that_o great_a scripture_n amos_n 4.6_o that_o it_o come_v upon_o this_o nation_n in_o a_o train_n and_o connexion_n of_o judgement_n all_o within_o less_o than_o half_a the_o age_n of_o a_o man_n at_o moses_n computation_n 90.10_o or_o

god_n overthrow_v sodom_n and_o gomorrah_n and_o this_o be_v the_o last_o till_o god_n come_v to_o a_o judgement_n so_o great_a he_o will_v not_o name_v therefore_o will_v i_o do_v thus_o or_o this_o unto_o thou_o therefore_o prepare_v to_o meet_v thy_o god_n oh_o israel_n in_o his_o severe_a judgement_n if_o thou_o return_v not_o and_o so_o according_a to_o the_o general_a course_n of_o the_o word_n and_o deal_n of_o god_n especial_o with_o a_o people_n under_o such_o a_o clearness_n of_o divine_a revelation_n as_o we_o be_v it_o must_v needs_o be_v whether_o man_n will_v hear_v or_o forbear_v it_o must_v end_v in_o utter_a destruction_n if_o upon_o this_o we_o do_v not_o return_v to_o god_n according_a i_o say_v to_o the_o general_n rule_v and_o standard_n of_o his_o word_n 3._o that_o great_a admonition_n of_o our_o saviour_n be_v a_o utter_a prohibition_n of_o our_o shelter_a ourselves_o under_o such_o a_o imagination_n that_o they_o be_v great_a sinner_n than_o we_o be_v

and_o then_o will_v set_v up_o a_o kingdom_n in_o the_o new_a heaven_n and_o the_o new_a earth_n in_o a_o far_o great_a glory_n for_o though_o christ_n come_v in_o great_a state_n then_o the_o
