A fruitful land is turned into barrenness for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. It was long since told England by one of its faithful ⟨p. 153⟩watchmen.^* The Nation and Church▪ in which we are, is the common Ship in which we are all embarked, and if this in judgment be cast away, whether dashed against the rocks of any Foreign power, or swallowed up in the quicksands of Domestic divisions, it must needs hazard all the Passengers: Or if you were sure, that for your parts you might be safe; would it not be a bitter thing, to stand upon the shore, and see such a glorious vessel as this Nation is, to be cast away? To see this glorious Land defaced, the blessed Gospel polluted, the golden candlestick removed, it cannot but affect men that have any bowels.
