11. Sudden judgements strike men into amazement. So saith Eliphaz, lSudden fear troubleth thee. It makes men at ⟨p. 31⟩their wits end, as we speak. Instance a sudden and unexpected surprisal by an enemy. 2. Sudden evils not only confound a mans wit and understanding, but they bereave him of the use of such means as are useful for his succour. For there must be time for providing sufficient means. 3. They are a great hinderance to true repentance, to faithful prayer, and such like spiritual means, whereby the wrath of God might be pacified, and judgements prevented, or removed. 4. They are evidences of Gods incensed and implacable wrath. As a man that is fully resolved to punish, and not to spare, will suddenly do what he intends to do.
