A02058	An alarum to England sounding the most fearefull and terrible example of Gods vengeance, that euer was inflicted in this world vpon mankind for sinne: seruing generally as a warning for all people to eschew sinne, lest they partake of the like vengeance. By Robert Gray, preacher of the Word of God.	Gray, Robert, 16th/17th cent.	1609 (1609)	STC 12203; ESTC S120400	50,215	146

sin_n of_o the_o parent_n spiritual_o and_o eternal_o if_o it_o walk_v in_o good_a way_n and_o betake_v itself_o to_o holy_a and_o virtuous_a course_n but_o if_o the_o child_n of_o ungodly_a parent_n live_v never_o so_o careful_o and_o conscionable_o according_a to_o god_n will_v yet_o the_o lord_n will_v visit_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o parent_n upon_o it_o corporal_o &_o temporal_o and_o if_o it_o walk_v in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o parent_n it_o shall_v bear_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o parent_n eternal_o also_o but_o admit_v that_o a_o child_n of_o ungodly_a parent_n never_o come_v to_o commit_v sin_n actual_o the_o lord_n in_o his_o justice_n may_v visit_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o parent_n upon_o that_o child_n both_o temporal_o and_o eternal_o because_o it_o be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n that_o the_o parent_n be_v even_o as_o the_o huntsman_n find_v a_o litter_n of_o some_o noisome_a &_o obnoxious_a beast_n kill_v they_o though_o they_o never_o do_v harm_n because_o their_o nature_n be_v to_o do_v harm_n if_o they_o live_v even_o so_o god_n in_o his_o justice_n may_v destroy_v the_o very_a infant_n and_o suck_a babe_n both_o temporal_o and_o eternal_o though_o they_o never_o commit_v sin_n actual_o because_o their_o nature_n be_v corrupt_a and_o taint_v by_o propagation_n from_o their_o parent_n but_o you_o will_v say_v unto_o i_o the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o the_o child_n of_o godly_a parent_n no_o for_o the_o godly_a have_v a_o promise_n that_o god_n will_v not_o only_o be_v their_o god_n but_o the_o god_n of_o their_o seed_n also_o so_o that_o if_o the_o child_n of_o the_o godly_a dye_n while_o they_o hang_v upon_o the_o breast_n or_o in_o the_o womb_n yet_o there_o be_v hope_n of_o mercy_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o promise_n but_o if_o the_o child_n of_o the_o wicked_a dye_n before_o they_o be_v of_o power_n to_o commit_v sin_n actual_o there_o be_v no_o hope_n of_o mercy_n but_o a_o fearful_a expectation_n of_o justice_n because_o there_o be_v no_o promise_n of_o mercy_n belong_v unto_o they_o you_o see_v then_o the_o reason_n why_o god_n destroy_v those_o infant_n &_o suck_a babe_n of_o sodom_n with_o this_o temporal_a judgement_n of_o fire_n &_o brimstone_n even_o because_o they_o be_v child_n of_o ungodly_a parent_n and_o if_o he_o have_v destroy_v they_o eternal_o he_o have_v do_v no_o more_o than_o in_o his_o justice_n he_o may_v because_o he_o never_o make_v promise_n of_o mercy_n unto_o they_o the_o second_o reason_n why_o god_n destroy_v these_o child_n be_v to_o increase_v the_o grief_n and_o sorrow_n of_o their_o parent_n for_o common_o the_o misery_n of_o our_o child_n be_v more_o grievous_a unto_o we_o than_o our_o own_o misery_n david_n take_v the_o death_n of_o his_o son_n absalon_n so_o heavy_o that_o he_o wish_v he_o have_v die_v for_o he_o and_o out_o of_o question_n when_o this_o people_n see_v their_o child_n lie_v sprawl_v in_o the_o fire_n scorch_v and_o burn_v with_o the_o heat_n thereof_o when_o they_o hear_v they_o scréeke_v and_o cry_v and_o can_v not_o help_v they_o it_o be_v as_o grievous_a unto_o they_o as_o their_o own_o misery_n and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n do_v it_o even_o to_o increase_v and_o enlarge_v their_o sorrow_n the_o three_o reason_n why_o the_o lord_n destroy_v these_o child_n be_v 3._o because_o they_o shall_v not_o walk_v in_o the_o wicked_a &_o abominable_a way_n of_o their_o parent_n for_o if_o they_o have_v live_v the_o nature_n which_o they_o draw_v from_o their_o parent_n will_v have_v draw_v they_o to_o the_o sin_n of_o their_o parent_n lest_o therefore_o these_o child_n shall_v have_v trace_v the_o sinful_a step_n of_o their_o parent_n the_o lord_n take_v they_o away_o in_o the_o same_o destruction_n with_o their_o parent_n the_o last_o reason_n why_o these_o child_n be_v destroy_v be_v 4_o because_o god_n will_v leave_v none_o of_o that_o wicked_a brood_n to_o remain_v upon_o the_o earth_n there_o be_v overmany_a of_o that_o rank_n already_o conscionable_o and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v root_v out_o the_o memory_n of_o this_o people_n he_o destroy_v child_n and_o all_o whereby_o man_n be_v teach_v to_o live_v holy_o just_o and_o sober_o in_o this_o world_n forasmuch_o as_o a_o man_n be_v not_o wicked_a only_o to_o himself_o but_o to_o his_o posterity_n also_o the_o wickedness_n of_o the_o parent_n lie_v heavy_o upon_o the_o child_n and_o therefore_o if_o thou_o have_v no_o regard_n of_o thy_o own_o soul_n yet_o have_v a_o respect_n of_o thy_o child_n and_o for_o their_o sake_n cease_v to_o do_v evil_a 57.3_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n summon_v the_o child_n of_o witch_n the_o seed_n of_o the_o adulterer_n and_o of_o the_o whore_n and_o the_o child_n of_o the_o rebellious_a he_o summon_v they_o all_o before_o god_n and_o he_o lay_v this_o heavy_a judgement_n upon_o they_o there_o be_v no_o peace_n to_o the_o wicked_a 20._o say_v my_o god_n it_o be_v a_o fearful_a thing_n to_o be_v the_o child_n of_o a_o usurer_n of_o a_o adulterer_n or_o whore_n of_o a_o drunkard_n of_o a_o murderer_n of_o a_o blasphemer_n or_o of_o any_o other_o notorious_a wicked_a person_n whatsoever_o for_o sure_o god_n will_v visit_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o parent_n upon_o the_o child_n as_o he_o have_v threaten_v in_o the_o commandment_n temporal_o live_v the_o child_n never_o so_o well_o but_o temporal_o and_o spiritual_o both_o if_o the_o child_n do_v walk_v in_o the_o way_n of_o their_o parent_n last_o of_o all_o concern_v the_o generality_n of_o that_o destruction_n which_o the_o lord_n bring_v upon_o this_o country_n and_o people_n it_o be_v say_v overthrow_n that_o he_o destroy_v all_o that_o grow_v upon_o the_o earth_n or_o as_o tremelius_fw-la have_v learned_o translate_v the_o same_o word_n thus_o all_o that_o the_o earth_n bring_v forth_o and_o nourish_v all_o cattle_n and_o beast_n of_o the_o field_n all_o creep_a thing_n and_o whatsoever_o be_v upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v destroy_v in_o this_o overthrow_n and_o here_o we_o may_v just_o wonder_v at_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n which_o he_o extend_v not_o only_o unto_o man_n which_o have_v judgement_n &_o will_n nor_o unto_o babe_n and_o suckling_n which_o be_v taint_v with_o corruption_n by_o the_o propagation_n of_o nature_n from_o their_o parent_n but_o also_o to_o unreasonable_a creature_n which_o never_o sin_v but_o be_v subject_a to_o vanity_n against_o their_o will_n which_o do_v not_o offend_v their_o creator_n but_o follow_v the_o law_n of_o their_o creation_n and_o shall_v never_o come_v into_o judgement_n yet_o these_o creature_n as_o void_a of_o sin_n as_o of_o reason_n be_v oftentimes_o plague_v and_o destroy_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n thus_o be_v the_o earth_n curse_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o adam_n thus_o be_v all_o these_o creature_n destroy_v with_o the_o flood_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o that_o age_n and_o yet_o we_o may_v say_v

o_o sinful_a man_n thy_o own_o ungraciousnesse_n thou_o do_v not_o only_o procure_v vengeance_n to_o thyself_o by_o thy_o sin_n but_o to_o every_o thing_n else_o that_o do_v serve_v thy_o sinful_a
