2Again, there is a nearer way to know a judgement, when it hath seized on us in part already: he that is not brutish and sottish, and drunk with cares and sensuality, must needs know a judgement when it is already inflicted, when part of the house is on fire: We see judgement hath seized now on the places where we live, and therefore we cannot be ignorant of it.

3Again, we may know it by the example of others, God keeps his old walks: Therefore it is said, As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be when the Son of man comes: they were eating and drinking and marrying, and knew not till the stood came and took them away. God will be like himself, if sinners be like themselves, ⟨p. 119⟩he will not change, if they change not, but will deal alike with them in his judgements as he hath dealt with others. What ground have we to hope for immunity more then others? We may rather expect it less; because we have their examples, and so they wanted those examples to teach them which we have. In Jeremiah 7.12. (saith God) Consider, look to Shiloh, and see what I did there, so will I do to you. So likewise the judgements on Jerusalem are a fearful spectacle for us. These and other examples may help us to judge of our condition in regard of approaching judgements.
