Lastly,1 These temporal evils will reach even to the public Church and State wherein they live, so that the sins of godly men may help to pull down public judgements. Thus it was with Hezekiah, for his unthankfulness and pride, there was wrath upon Judah and Jerusalem, 2 Chron. 32.25. so Davids sin in numbering the people, it was the death of many thousand in Israel; for Eli's sin, the Israelites are slain in the Army, and the Ark is taken. Hence you have Isaiah, Daniel and Ezra joining themselves in the number with others, who made public confessions of their sins upon days of humiliation. It is therefore a cursed and secure opinion, that faith, the godly when they keep Fast-days, do it not, because they have any sins that God punisheth, b•t because of wicked men. The Scripture doth manifest the contrary, and the holiest men living do bring some sparks and fire-brands to increase the wrath of God, and therefore they ought to bring their buckets for the quenching of it.
