Sect. 2. The consideration of Gods iudgements.

The second consideration touching God, is of his judgements, not only those which were done of old, and are recorded in the Scripture, or other histories; but even his late judgements which we behold, or hear to fall upon Kingdoms, Townes, particular houses, and persons, must we carefully lay unto our hearts. Of the want hereof the Lord complaineth among his people saying,^d The whole land lieth wast, because no man setteth his mind on it: giving us to understand, that the neglect of due consideration of Gods judgement brought ⟨p. 198⟩desolation to the whole land, and therefore the want thereof is a main and grievous sin, bringing further judgements with it.
