Obs. That the majesty, and terribleness of God, in his 1wonderful and dreadful works, causes the wicked, guilty conscience to fly from him; But the Saints shall follow after him, and cling unto him: Isa 33. 14. The sinners in Zion are afraid, fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who amongst us shall dwell with devouring fire? who amongst us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? He that worketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly. Act. 5. 13, 14. Of the rest durst no man join himself to them. And Believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women. Psa. 46. (Luther's Psalm) 2. We will not fear, though the Earth be moved, though the Mountains be carried into the midst of the Sea, though the waves thereof roar, though the Mountains shake. Vers. 6. The Heathen raged, the Kingdoms were moved; be uttered his voice, the Earth melted, The Lord of Hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is our Refuge. Nahum, 1. 2. The Lord revengeth, the Lord revengeth, and is furious; the Lord will take vengeance of his adversaries. Vers. 3. The Lord hath his way in the whirlwind, and in the storm. Vers. 5. The Mountains quake at him, the Hills melt, and the Earth is burnt at his presence. Who can stand before his indignation? who can abide the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the Rocks are thrown down by him. Vers. 7. The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble, and he knoweth them that trust in him. Joel, 3. 15, 16. The Sun and the Moon shall be darkened, and the Stars shall withdraw their shining; the Lord shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; The Heavens and the Earth shall shake; but the Lord will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel. Hab. 3. 17, 18. Although the Figtree shall not blossom, &c. yet will I rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
