Again we talk amiss in regard of others,2 when we begin to flight them in our thoughts and speeches, oh they were careless people, they adventured into company, and it was the carelessness of the Magistrates, they were not well looked to, they were unmerciful persons, &c. Is it not Gods hand? put case there might be some oversight; art thou secure from Gods arrow? he that struck them may he not strike thee? this is to talk amiss of the judgement of God in regard of others; when we think that God hath singled them out as sinners above the rest: as the Disciples thought of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate mingled with their sacrifice. No, no, saith he, think not they were greater sinners then the rest, do not add your bitter censure of the judgement of God on them, and make it heavier, (there is a woe to such persons, as add afflictions to the afflicted,) ⟨p. 86⟩except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish. Is not the ripest corn cut first? God oft times takes those away that are fittest for him, and leaves others to the cruelty of men, therefore by this rash judgement there may be great wrong to men, and to wrong men in our censures, it is to talk amiss of Gods judgements in regard of others.
