2. Upon the occasion of extraordinary sin: If in a particular family it may be ⟨p. 261⟩a just occasion for a fast in the family, if in a particular Church, or in a Nation, it may be an occasion of a more public fast. As the fast of Ezra chap. 9. and of Nehemiah chap. 9. was upon the occasion of the sin of Israel in making marriages with the people of the Land. And Hezekiah rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the Lord upon the occasion of Rabshakehs reproaching and blaspheming God, as well as the distress that was upon himself and the people by Sennacherib's invasion, as we read Isa. 37. beginning. We should mourn over the dishonour done to God, as well as any distress and trouble that may come upon our selves, and we read of the Congregation of Israel weeping before the door of the Tabernacle, upon the account of the whoredom committed by many of them with the Daughters of Moab, and bowing down to their Gods, Numbers 25.6.
