And this (by the way) may give the Alarm, and be a very awakening consideration to all the Churches and people of God at this day throughout the world. If God did strike Jerusalem of old, that is, his people there, as wicked men even in the open sight of others; if the Lord was so wroth with his people, that he polluted his inheritance, and gave them into the hand of the Chaldeans (Isa. 47.6.) If he forsook his house and left his heritage, and gave the dearly beloved of his soul into the hands of her enemies (Jer: 12.7.) and said (v. 9.) Mine heritage is to me as a speckled bird, the birds round about her are against her; yea if he (in the close of that verse) invited the worst of men under the name of beasts to spoil them, Come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field come to devour; Now (I say) If God struck his ancient people, the Jewish Church, as wicked men, by wicked men, in the open sight of others, O let the Gentile Churches take heed, lest they also be stricken after the same manner. Many Churches in Germany and else-where have been stricken so already in this last age, let the remnant both there and else-where remember themselves and give glory to God, before he cause such darkness to come upon them, and strike them also as wicked men in the open sight of others.
