Jer. 12. 12. The spoilers are come upon all high places through the wilderness. (They are come from the Country to the City, the Country is to them but as a wilderness in comparison of the City) For the Sword shall devour from the one end of the Land to the other, no flesh shall have peace, Jer. 25. 15. The ⟨p. 15⟩Lord bade the Prophet take the cup of the wine of his fury, and cause all the Nations to whom I send thee to drink it: God hath given other Nations this cup of his fury, France, Holland, Germany, have been drinking these 24. years, Spain, Italy have had it, a little of the top of it Scotland had; we were afraid of it then here, and they and we cried to God, If it be possible let this cup of blood pass from us, and God in his great mercy caused it to pass from us, but it went to our brethren in Ireland, they have drunk deep of it, and still are drinking, and whether God intends that we shall drink the dregs of it we know not, we had need do as Christ did in his Agony, Luk. 22. 44. yet 1pray more earnestly, the second and third time, If it be possible, let this cup of blood pass from us. If an Agony cause Christs spirit to rise in Prayer, it should then do ours; it is a sad thing to have our spirits heavy, dull and strait in such a time as this.
