A Popish Author saith, that in the year […] […], there was a general belief over the Christian world, that the day of judgement should be that year; but when they saw it happened not, they fell to their old sinning again: and were worse then before, and believed nothing. Well Gods time is the best, therefore let not us pry too much into the Ark.

We had a great disorder heretofore: abundance of well-meaning people usurped upon the Ministerial Office: they were afraid the Ark was falling, and therefore they touched the Ark, they laid hold on the Ark: but their touching the Ark hath undone the Ark, and themselves too. O take heed of touching the Ark.
