First, our divisions provoke the wrath of God against us; §1though the wrath of man accomplisheth not the righteousness of God, yet it may accomplish the wrath of God. Isaiah 9. 21. Manasseh against Ephraim, and Ephraim against Manasseh, and they together against Judah; for all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. When we are thus one against another, the anger of God is not turned away from us, we may fear his hand will yet be further stretched out against ⟨p. 218⟩us; so long as our wrath one against another continue so hot, certainly Gods wrath is not appeased.

We read of Abraham, when he was about sacrificing Isaac, he found a Ram entangled in the briars, which God had prepared for him to be a sacrifice: We are this day entangled in the briars, and we know not how to get out, it is a sign that we are prepared to be a sacrifice even to the wrath of God.
