Let us now turn to the Lord in prayer, and because it cannot be hoped, but that this our general sinfulness must needs end with some heavy Judgement: let us desire the Lord still to defer our deserved punishments, and still to spare us, and to give us time and leisure to repent: that so, we entering into our selves, and searching our hearts, and turning ⟨p. 143⟩to the Lord: we may turn away his imminent Judgements, and that when his wrath doth burn out indeed, we may then be counted worthy in Christ, to escape those things which must needs come upon the world. Amen.
