Well, but what shall we do when judgements are coming? We see judgements are like to come, nay are in part come, the Plague of pestilence hath seized on us already; and then war is threatened, and that by enemies that have been foiled before: Foiled enemies are dangerous enemies if they be proud; Now we have proud enemies that have been foiled, and Idolatrous withal, and what mercy can we look for from them? God fought against them for us from Heaven in some measure, and they being cruel provoked enemies are the less likely to show any mercy. God is indeed so merciful to us yet, that he hath taken us into his own hands, rather then to give us up to the malice and fury of Idolatrous enemies. But yet those that can lay things together and consider the times; they shall see there is more cause of fear then is taken to heart.
