Q. 11. VVhat's the second Instruction from hence?
A. That God is to be justified in the severest of his Judgments, by which at any time he manifests his displeasure against the profaneness of the World. Hos. 4.1, 2, 3. Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood. Therefore shall the land •ourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, yea the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
