1. Sin brings external straits; sin brings Famine, Sword, and Plague; sin brings Agues and Fevers, Gout and Stone, and all manner of Diseases: yea, sin brings death it self, which is the wages of sin. Read Levit 26. and Deut. 28. and you will see a black role of curses, which were the fruit of sin. Sin brought Zion into Babylon; and when the Jews had murdered Christ, forty years after they were brought into that distress, when the City was besieged by Titus and Vespasian, that they did eat one another, the mother did eat her child. And whereas David had a choice which of the three he would have, either Famine, Plague, or Sword; the poor Jews had all three concatenated together in the siege: Sin brings all manner of external Plagues.

2. Sins bring Persons & Nations into internal straits: sin brings soul-plagues, which are worse than bodily plagues: sin brings hardness of heart, blindness of mind, a spirit of slumber, a reprobate sense; sin brings a spiritual famine upon a Land; it brings a famine of the Word, Amos 8. 11
