Secondly, it is a sign you have no interest in the Gospel, for interest will stir up your affections: it is a sign you are not concerned in the Gospel, for if you were concerned in it, you would be affected with it; as those that were interested in those persons in that lamentable fire the last week, it is impossible but they should be affected: •nd so it is assign you have no interest in God and ⟨p. 25⟩Christ, if your hearts do not tremble for fear of the loss of the Ark.

But thirdly, there is a curse of God pronounced against all those that do not lay to heart the afflictions of Joseph, Amos 6. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Woe be to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria: ye that put far away the evil day: that lye upon beds of Ivory, and stretch themselves upon their Couches: that eat the Lambs out of the flock, and the Calves out of the midst of the stall: that chant to the sound of the Viol, and invent to themselves instruments of Music: that drink Wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the afflictions of Joseph. Woe be to you that enjoy your fullness of outward things, and make merry therewith, and never consider the afflictions of Gods people, and the danger of the Ark.
