VER. 14.
Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people; and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled.
AS if the Prophet should say,1 you have the Militia on your side, and you think you shall be able to drive on your design, this your trust is, you have all the strength with you: but (saith he) what if there should be seditious tumults within you; What if the power of the enemy without you should not come upon you, cannot God work your ruin that way that you think not of; Oh! how suddenly may God suffer the discontentments of people to break forth into rage and fury so that a tumult should arise among them, to make tumults and bring all into a most miserable confusion.2 It's a great fruit of the wrath of God and a plague upon a City or Country when God shall suffer tumults to arise among them. Therefore shall a tumult arise among them: as a threatening of Gods severe wrath among these people that were so confident in their way. A man may avoid external dangers for his body, yea, but the distempers within his body may be his death. There's fearful miseries comes upon Cities and Countries ⟨p. 501⟩when tumults rises, and there are these two main things that have been the cause of tumults.3
