God will not suffer it long unpunished, to be impenitent when his judgements are abroad, ⟨p. 89⟩and threatened, much more when they have already seized upon our brethren: For that is the end of all his judgements to draw us near to him, to draw us out of the world, and out of our sinful courses; when therefore we answer not, God must take another course, What is the plague and other judgements,1 but so many messengers sent to every one of us to knock, and our answer must be, Lord I will repent of my evil ways, I will turn from my evil courses and turn to thee: If we give this answer, God will take away his judgements, (or sanctify them, and that is better) but when there is no answer, the messenger will not be gone, God will add plagues upon plagues till we give our answer, till we repent and turn from our wicked ways.
