the_o storm_n &_o flood_n that_o fall_v after_o it_o drown_v many_o seller_n of_o salt_n &_o carry_v away_o many_o field_n of_o corn_n &_o hay_n &_o to_o the_o wonder_n &_o astonishment_n of_o all_o that_o hear_v it_o it_o carry_v away_o 7_o dwelling-house_n in_o one_o place_n &_o 5_o in_o another_o &_o a_o great_a bridge_n it_o carry_v not_o only_o the_o house_n but_o the_o people_n &_o all_o that_o be_v in_o they_o a_o sad_a woeful_a sight_n to_o behold_v the_o lord_n destroy_v the_o world_n in_o noah_n time_n with_o a_o flood_n &_o he_o destroy_v sodom_n &_o gomorrah_n with_o fire_n and_o brimston_n &_o he_o make_v a_o covenant_n that_o he_o will_v not_o destroy_v the_o world_n no_o more_o by_o water_n he_o have_v keep_v his_o covenant_n with_o we_o but_o how_o many_o covenant_n oath_n and_o protestation_n have_v we_o break_v with_o he_o let_v we_o consider_v with_o ourselves_o &_o not_o provoke_v the_o lord_n our_o god_n he_o show_v we_o by_o these_o sign_n &_o wonder_n that_o he_o be_v the_o ssame_a god_n &_o that_o he_o have_v the_o sea_n &_o water_n at_o his_o command_n he_o show_v we_o that_o fire_n &_o water_n be_v his_o minister_a spirit_n to_o extend_v the_o viol_n of_o his_o wrath_n on_o all_o rebellious_a &_o stiff-necked_a people_n the_o foolish_a have_v say_v in_o their_o heart_n say_v david_n that_o there_o be_v no_o god_n i_o be_o afraid_a that_o in_o these_o sad_a and_o miserable_a time_n that_o there_o be_v too_o many_o of_o such_o opinion_n in_o this_o our_o nation_n that_o do_v not_o stick_v to_o speak_v it_o open_o and_o say_v that_o all_o thing_n come_v by_o nature_n and_o there_o be_v neither_o god_n nor_o devil_n but_o i_o desire_v all_o true_a christian_n to_o beware_v of_o such_o atheist_n for_o though_o they_o shall_v not_o have_v the_o happiness_n to_o see_v there_o be_v a_o god_n yet_o they_o shall_v acknowledge_v one_o day_n to_o their_o everlasting_a sorrow_n that_o they_o then_o feel_v the_o powerful_a hand_n of_o god_n in_o punish_v of_o such_o blasphemy_n and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n that_o can_v cast_v they_o into_o that_o place_n where_o they_o shall_v see_v there_o be_v a_o devil_n to_o torment_v and_o punish_v all_o such_o blasphemer_n you_o see_v the_o lord_n begin_v to_o speak_v loud_o to_o we_o to_o make_v we_o know_v there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o that_o he_o will_v be_v fear_v by_o all_o sort_n of_o people_n how_o many_o several_a warning_n have_v the_o lord_n send_v to_o this_o our_o sinful_a nation_n first_o he_o send_v the_o pestilence_n among_o we_o which_o sweep_v away_o thousand_o and_o have_v not_o the_o sword_n a_o long_a time_n be_v among_o we_o insomuch_o that_o we_o have_v sheathe_v it_o in_o one_o another_o bowel_n have_v not_o the_o father_n be_v against_o the_o son_n and_o the_o son_n against_o the_o father_n and_o one_o brother_n against_o another_o we_o know_v not_o how_o soon_o the_o lord_n may_v send_v a_o famine_n among_o we_o for_o all_o we_o have_v such_o plenty_n now_o the_o lord_n be_v praise_v have_v not_o the_o almighty_a show_v wonder_n in_o the_o heaven_n above_o and_o signe●_n in_o the_o earth_n below_o and_o will_v none_o of_o all_o these_o soften_v and_o mollitie_v our_o stonie-heart_n to_o seek_v the_o lord_n our_o god_n by_o unfeigned_a prayer_n and_o sound_a repentance_n and_o never_o let_v he_o go_v as_o jacob_n do_v when_o he_o wrestle_v with_o he_o he_o will_v not_o let_v he_o go_v till_o he_o have_v bless_v he_o as_o you_o may_v read_v in_o gen._n 32.26_o belove_a friend_n i_o will_v not_o have_v you_o think_v that_o those_o on_o who_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v fall_v by_o these_o accident_n be_v great_a sinner_n than_o we_o for_o remember_v what_o christ_n say_v in_o the_o 23_o chap._n of_o luke_n speak_v of_o those_o eighteen_o on_o who_o the_o tower_n of_o siloe_n fall_v for_o say_v he_o unless_o you_o repent_v you_o shall_v all_o likewise_o perish_v therefore_o let_v we_o take_v warning_n by_o those_o example_n for_o we_o know_v not_o who_o turn_v it_o be_v next_o prayer_n be_v the_o safe_a bulwark_n that_o we_o shall_v find_v in_o these_o time_n to_o protect_v we_o against_o all_o our_o enemy_n if_o any_o thing_n will_v prevail_v with_o god_n to_o stop_v his_o wrath_n which_o be_v like_a to_o be_v pour_v out_o upon_o this_o land_n it_o must_v be_v by_o that_o mean_n when_o jonah_n proclaim_v yet_o forty_o day_n and_o niniveh_n shall_v be_v destroy_v yet_o by_o prayer_n &_o fast_v the_o lord_n repent_v he_o of_o the_o evil_a he_o pretend_v and_o he_o do_v it_o not_o as_o you_o may_v read_v in_o the_o 3_o of_o jonah_n again_o you_o may_v read_v in_o martin_n luther_n time_n one_o have_v make_v a_o covenant_n with_o the_o devil_n &_o have_v seal_v a_o bond_n with_o his_o blood_n and_o deliver_v it_o to_o he_o and_o when_o he_o have_v make_v it_o know_v to_o martin_n luther_n of_o his_o sad_a condition_n by_o prayer_n that_o zealous_a father_n prevail_v so_o much_o with_o god_n that_o the_o devil_n be_v force_v to_o come_v and_o deliver_v the_o bond_n up_o and_o so_o save_v this_o poor_a soul_n which_o be_v as_o it_o be_v almost_o lose_v by_o prayer_n joshua_n prevail_v with_o god_n that_o the_o sun_n and_o moon_n stand_v still_o till_o he_o have_v avenge_v himself_o of_o his_o enemy_n as_o you_o may_v read_v in_o joshua_n 9.13_o by_o prayer_n moses_n prevail_v with_o god_n so_o that_o he_o destroy_v not_o the_o people_n as_o he_o intend_v when_o they_o make_v the_o melt_a calf_n &_o worship_v it_o but_o pray_v hear_v what_o the_o lord_n say_v unto_o moses_n let_v i_o alone_o that_o i_o may_v destroy_v this_o people_n exod._n 33.10_o so_o that_o you_o may_v see_v that_o prayer_n do_v as_o it_o be_v bind_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n so_o that_o he_o can_v not_o destroy_v the_o people_n by_o reason_n moses_n prayer_n be_v so_o fervent_a to_o he_o for_o they_o by_o prayer_n the_o plague_n cease_v in_o david_n time_n &_o by_o prayer_n and_o repentance_n he_o have_v his_o sin_n forgive_v there_o be_v a_o many_o that_o be_v live_v at_o this_o present_a that_o can_v remember_v how_o wonderful_o god_n do_v afflict_v the_o city_n of_o london_n and_o divers_a other_o place_n in_o this_o our_o nation_n by_o his_o scourge_n of_o pestilence_n but_o yet_o by_o their_o earnest_a prayer_n and_o supplication_n to_o almighty_a god_n it_o please_v the_o lord_n to_o stay_v his_o hand_n nay_o what_o be_v it_o that_o prayer_n will_v not_o do_v if_o it_o be_v do_v with_o earnestness_n and_o sincerity_n therefore_o i_o desire_v all_o true_a christian_n whatsoever_o whether_o they_o be_v rich_a or_o poor_a old_a or_o young_a to_o arm_v themselves_o by_o prayer_n and_o repentance_n against_o the_o assault_n of_o the_o devil_n that_o they_o may_v not_o run_v headlong_o to_o ruin_n and_o despair_n as_o many_o of_o late_o have_v do_v since_o this_o year_n begin_v and_o make_v away_o themselves_o to_o the_o great_a grief_n of_o their_o friend_n likewise_o arm_n yourselves_o by_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n to_o almighty_a god_n in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n our_o bless_a saviour_n and_o you_o need_v not_o fear_v what_o man_n can_v do_v against_o you_o for_o he_o have_v promise_v mercy_n to_o all_o those_o that_o call_v upon_o his_o name_n when_o have_v we_o not_o more_o need_n of_o prayer_n and_o when_o be_v it_o less_o use_v than_o now_o some_o hold_v it_o superstition_n to_o use_v the_o form_n of_o prayer_n but_o let_v they_o poor_a soul_n that_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o prayer_n let_v they_o seek_v by_o form_n of_o prayer_n for_o the_o lord_n will_v hearken_v to_o the_o cry_n of_o his_o people_n i_o call_v unto_o the_o lord_n say_v david_n and_o he_o hear_v i_o and_o deliver_v i_o out_o of_o all_o my_o trouble_n again_o i_o say_v arm_v yourselves_o by_o prayer_n and_o repentance_n and_o you_o need_v not_o fear_v thunder_n and_o lightning_n sword_n pestilence_n nor_o famine_n it_o will_v be_v your_o best_a buckler_n in_o the_o time_n of_o war_n it_o will_v be_v your_o best_a physician_n against_o sickness_n it_o will_v be_v a_o good_a storehouse_n for_o you_o in_o the_o time_n of_o famine_n and_o so_o i_o conclude_v in_o that_o short_a prayer_n that_o once_o be_v use_v in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o which_o i_o be_o persuade_v no_o good_a christian_n can_v say_v that_o there_o be_v any_o hurt_n from_o lightning_n and_o tempest_n from_o plague_n pestilence_n and_o famine_n good_a lord_n deliver_v we_o finis_fw-la
