5. Moreover God many times lets out his Wrath by War; and the Sword consumes and devours much people: As also by Famine and by the Pestilence. The Wrath of God, as it is let out in this World is as a drying, scorching and devouring fire: The flame of Gods Displeasure puts all into a flame; as at this day, all the Earth seems to be on a fire, God is now a burning up, and consuming the Nations; Therefore he hath poured upon ⟨p. 43⟩him (speaking of Jacob) the fury of his anger, and the strength 1of Battle, and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew it not, and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart: War consumes the Riches, the Wealth, the Strength, the Food and Bread of the Nation, as well as the People, but it is not laid to heart. He 2teareth me (saith Job) in his Wrath: The Hebrew Word [Greek or Hebrew] (as Mr. Caryl Notes) is near in sound to our English Tear, and it signifieth to Tear as a Lyon his prey. Wrath is of a Tearing and devouring Nature. God sometimes in his Wrath Tears in pieces the Bodies of Men, he tears their Power, their Riches, and consumes their Beauty, and turns all (as it were to Ashes) and thus he will pour out his Wrath on Babylon, and she shall be burned with fire.
