let there be no family, but let there be praying to God in the family, Evening and Morning at least; and if you prayed twice a day before, then thrice a day now, because of the strife in the City, and the treachery and deceit that is here, and the Lord will hear our voice; and he concludes the Psalm thus, Bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in the Lord. Let them be never so bloody minded, and desire to imbrue the City in blood, yet saith the text, The bloody and deceitful man shall not live out half his days: but I will trust in the Lord. Because of their own Counsels.

Because of their own Counsels.
The Evil, Folly and Danger of mens own Counsels, we have spoken to, in the 10th Chapter, 6th Verse, They shall be ashamed of their own Counsels. Now only a word of that, in reference unto the abiding of the Sword upon them.
The Sword hath abode upon us divers years; the wisest amongst us did not think the Sword would have continued so long as it hath don; And yet who can tell when there will be an end of these things?
