And in like manner ought we to do upon the like occasions, say as Job doth; tShow me, O Lord, or make known to me, wherefore thou contendest with me: do as DAVID did, when in Israel they had had a long time of dearth; uHe went to ask ⟨p. 69⟩of God for what cause it might be: make a search into, take survey of our hearts and our lives; labour, as Solomon speaketh, xto find out the plague, the cause of it at least, in our hearts, and in our courses.
