1. To make some further use hereof to our selves; Let us avoid sin,1 as much as we may. And, though we cannot stay our selves from going in, let us stay our selves from going on: least our God complain against us. If we make him sorrowful for a time, he can make us sorrowful for ever. If we anger him, he can anger all the veins of our hearts. If in stead of serving GOD by our obedience, we make him aserve with our sins, he will make us serve with his plagues. If we drive God to call a Convocation of heaven and earth: bHear oh heaven, hearken oh earth: I have nourished children, and they have rebelled against me: If he call on the cmountains to hear his controversy, he will make us dcall on the mountains to help and hide our misery. And they said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, &c. If we put God to his querelam, econtroversy, and make him a Plaintiff, to enter his suit against us; he will put us to a complaint indeed. fTherefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein, shall languish. He will force us to repent the time and deeds, that ever made him to grepent, that he made us. He will strike us with such a blow, that there needeth no doubling of it. hHe will make an utter end; destruction shall not rise up the second time. As Abishai would have stricken Sauli, at once, and I will not smite him the second time.
