Where shall we go? the hand of God is against us, you were afraid that God would let in a deluge of misery, and at that door let in all his wrath upon us, and not only so, but a door open for all kind of wickedness, all superstition, Idolatry, cruelty; What a door was there open not long since? we may apply that place of Jer. 23.15. where the Prophet saith, Profaneness is gone through the whole Land from the Prophets, from wicked and scandalous Ministers and others.
