First, the plagues which follow sinners are mighty and forcible, Reasons. 1 God sends them, and Angels bring them, and who can withstand them? According to their commission, they may strike where they will, and when they will, and how they will, without any resistance. The prophet Amos speaketh home to this1 purpose, and doth fully confirm our point in hand. The flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his ⟨p. 63⟩force, neither shall the mighty save his life; Nor he that handleth the bow shall stand▪ and he that is swift of foot, shall not escape, neither shall he that rideth the horse save his life.
