When God intends the sorest scourge of all,1 utterly to destroy a people, he suffers Tumults to be among them. I ⟨p. 503⟩find some take this word Tumult [A Tumult shall arise] that is only meant the Confusion of the hearts of people when the enemies should come upon them, that they should be all in a Confusion, not knowing what to do through fear and terror altogether. As suppose on a sudden an Army should come against a City, people would be wringing of their hands and running up and down from place to place, and paleness in their countenances, and not knowing what in the world to do, all in perplexity and tumult: Thus God threatens it should be with them. As if he should say, You are jolly and brave now, but when the Assyrians come out upon you then your hearts shall fail, and you shall all run together and not know what to do, the women and children shall cry, not knowing how to help your selves, and so shall be brought into a confused Tumult. This is the sense that some carries it in. But the sense may very well go either of these ways.
