Answ. It is then because we do a right observe the judgement of God: for is not the punishment of the Jews for contemning Christ and his Gospel, namely their utter desolation and dispersion, far greater then any of their Captivities under the times of the Law. Do we not see all those famous Churches of Greece for their light esteem of the Gospel, utterly destroyed, & now in slavery to the Turk, and is not Rome now a servant of Antichrist; a greater plague then to be made the slave of the Turk; 2. Thess. 2.9, 10, 11. And if there be no corporal plague, then doth God send spiritual punishments, giving men up to hardness of heart, and reserving them to eternal condemnation: 2. Thes. 1.7, 8, 9. Act. 28.26, 27. which plague of hardness of heart is so much the more fearful and grievous by ⟨p. 115⟩much less sensible it is.
