have pronounced this turne from their wickednesse I will repent of the plague that I thought to bring upō them Let us then O beloved of the Lord whosoever love the Lord Iesus be carefull to fulfill the condition and then confident not doubting of the performance of the promise by so much the more by how much the fewer we be and by how much the longer and clearer the Lord hath threatned most terrible judgements Now for the terror of the ungodly as many of them as repent onely when Gods hand is upon them and then humble themselves outwardly onely and that but onely when the fiercenesse of his wrath appeareth or else after they have escaped the feared judgement fall to their wonted wickednesse againe let them bee sure the strong and just God that consumed Nineveh slidden backe will overtake them also in wrath and for ever turne them over to ceaselesse woe For the greatnesse the beauty the strength and riches of Nineveh could not withstand the hand of God or keepe it from destruction but rather furthered and hastened it For with the more excellent ornaments that it was adorned by the Lord the more hainous and grievous in his sight was the abuse of them Therfore the hugenesse or the strength of this or any other Cittie cannot save it from the judgement of God being sinnefull in his sight Great Sodome is destroyed Gen. 19. great Iericho is destroyed Iosh 6. great Nineveh is destroyed great Ierusalem is destroyed 1 King 24. 25. and great Rome Rev. 18. 2. the roome of all uncleane spirits stayeth for her destruction like a whore that stayeth for her punishment till shee bee delivered and these were and shall bee punished for unthankfullnesse and contempt of the Word of God Yet Nineveh Iericho Sodome nor Rome have had halfe the Preaching that we have had yet we are unthankfull too then what have wee to looke for but when Sodome was burned Zoar stood safe Gen. 19. 21. when Ierusalem was destroyed Bethlehem stood still Ier. 41. 17. So the Lord doth alwaies provide for his people though he make never so great a slaughter and destruction amongst his enemies For the Lord because of his covenant doth alwaies provide for his chosen although they be but a remnant like the gleaning after harvest or like a cluster of Grapes on the top of the vine after the vintage and though there be never so great calamity or ttouble as wee see in the Booke of Gen. 45. Chap. when there was a great time of dearth and scarcity to come upon the land where Iacob was the Lord had sent Ioseph to provide for his Father Iacob lest hee should want bread hee or any of his sonnes and folkes and so ordered the matter that Ioseph was Treasurer over all the Corne in Aegypt And so among the Turkes and Spaniards and Infidels the Lord will finde meanes to do them good which unfainedly love him and in the dungeon in prison and in bonds yea and in death the godly shall finde GOD.
