First, When God smites any thing that is ours, or belongs to us, he smites us. If our fields or gardens be smitten, we are smitten.
Secondly, God expects we should, and even wonders, if we do not turn upon such smitings. He looks upon them as hardened sinners, who melt not by every afflictive fall of hail from heaven. They are even resolved to be bad, who mind not being good or better, when evils fall upon either them or theirs.

Fifthly, Hasten to make peace with God, when he gives signs and alarums of war.
