§. 4. Of the sinnes that cause judgement.
1. pTHE charge which God gave to Joshua (when he 2and the men of Israel with him fled before the men of Ai) to search out and take away from among them the accursed thing, affordeth a direction very pertinent to the point in hand: which is, when we see any judgement hanging over our heads, or feel it fallen upon us, to search narrowly and thoroughly after the cause of that judgement. Nothing doth usually so bring mens sins to mind and memory, as judgements. Instance the example of Josephs brethren, 3Gen. 42, 21. The Prophet therefore that penned the Lamentations, upon the grievous judgements that had fallen upon the Israelites, giveth this advice. qLet us search and try our ways. Upon a like occasion, which was a manifestation of Gods displeasure by visible judgements, the Apostle giveth this advice, rLet a man examine himself.
