2. It is a sad Intimation to us, and therefore we ought to be very sensible of such a Loss: Isa. 57. 1. The Righteous perish, and no Man layeth it to Heart, none considering that they are taken away from the Evil to come. Wicked Men think they are the Bane of a Place: Plurimos defecit Christiani nominis gratia; Christianos ad Leones: Wicked Men are but preserved in reference to the Godly; they are but as a Fence of Thorns about a Garden of Roses: Now when the Roses are cropped off, what shall become of the Thorns, but be cast into the Fire? God will dash the Potter's Vessel: Gen. 19. 22. Haste thee, scape to Zoar, for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. I cannot, mark that. Exod. 32. 10. Let me alone, and I will make of thee a great People: God offereth Moses Composition. Acts 27. 24. The Lord hath given thee all them that sail with thee. These are the Staff and the Stay; therefore we have Reason to be sensible of their Removal from us.
