As for people under pious Governours,
1. They may not be secure and careless, much less dissolute and licentious, because they have such Governors, as if no judgements could fall on a land in the time of good ⟨p. 152⟩Governors. God hath many ways to punish such people even in such times: As by inflicting such judgements, as prove greater plagues to the common people, then to their Governors: as this famine was. (For famine for the most part lieth most heavy on the meaner sort:) Or by giving over their Governors to commit such sins as will pull down public judgements: as he gave over David: or by taking away their Governors, as he took away Josiah, 1and then pouring out the vials of his indignation.
