3. Safety and security goes, when the Gospel goes; so in the Text but now cited. The Ark was taken away, their strength and safety was gone. When the Jews rejected the Gospel, the Romans came and took away both their place and Nation, John 11.48, If we let him thus alone▪ the Romans will come, and take away both our place and Nation. About for•y years after, Titus and Vespasian took away their City; they cried, If we let this man alone, the Romans will take away our Nation; and this was the ready way to bring the Romans upon them.
4. When the Gospel goes, Civil liberty goes; when the Jews slighted the Gospel; and turned their backs upon it, they quickly became Bondslaves to the Romans.
5. When the Gospel goes, the honour and glory, splendour and beauty of a Nation goes. It is the Gospel that is the honour and beauty of a Nation; and when that goes, all the glory goes: As old Eli said, when the Ark was taken away, the glory was departed from Israel, 1 Sam. 4.22. Jer. 2.11, ⟨image 132⟩12, 13. Hath a Nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit; that is, the Worship of God into the Traditions of men. What is it that lifts up one Nation above another, but the Gospel? Above all Nations of the Earth, England hath been lifted up to Heaven.
