3. Is the agitation of great affairs in the world an occasion for fasting? this also requires it of us at this day.
Are not the Nations embroiled in Wars both by Land and Sea? are there not also some negotiations of peace on foot? Is not the great Council of the Land to meet here at home? and do not these extraordinary affairs ⟨p. 266⟩call us to extraordinary duties, that they may be all superintended and guided to an happy issue in the end.

4. Is there not a strange stupidity and security upon the hearts of most men? that they vvill not see the hand of God, though they feel it, and though God walks contrary to them, yet they observe it not, but rather walk contrary to him in a course of sin, than meet him by repentance in the way of his judgments. Now the less others are affected, the more should we endeavour to affect our own hearts; and to fast the more because they fast not at all, and the more others are widening the breach, to stand so much the more in the gap, Ezek. 22.20.
