2. The sins of the Land should make us tremble, Esa. 24. 16. But I said, my leanness, my leanness, woe unto me, for the treacherous dealers dealeth treacherously, Jer. 23. 9. My heart within me is broken, all my bones shake, &c. Psal. 119. 53. Horror hath taken hold of me, because of the wicked that keep not thy law: What should the sins of Court, of Prelates, make me tremble? are they my sins? Yea 1. every sin that I am not grieved for is mine. 2. He never mourned for his own sins, who is not humbled for the sins of the land. 3. A gracious Samuel will own the sins of Saul.

2. The sinnes of the Land should make us tremble, Esa. 24. 16. But I said, my leannesse, my leannesse, woe unto me, for the treacherous dealers dealeth treacherously, Ier. 23. 9. My heart within me is broken, all my bones shake, &c. Psal. 119. 53. Horrour hath taken hold of me, because of the wicked that keep not thy law: What should the sins of Court, of Prelates, make me tremble? are they my sins? Yea 1. every sin that I am not grieved for is mine. 2. He never mourned for his own sins, who is not humbled for the sins of the land. 3. A gracious Samuel will own the sins of Saul.

3. Gods great works call for trembling, Habak. 3. The Prophet considering Gods walking through the red Sea with his horses, maketh him say, though it was a work of mercy, verse 16. When I heard it, my belly trembled, my lips quivered, rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in my self. O tremble at this Lord, who hath, 1. Wrought State miracles, if not miracles in nature; he hath commanded the Sun of righteousness to stand still in the Meridian of Britain. 2. He hath divided our red Sea. 3. He hath brought us back from the bordel-house, and renewed a Covenant with us. 4. Our enemies are fallen, and those are enlarged who were banished, imprisoned, vexed by Prelates for the heinous crime (as they thought) of piety, holiness, and orthodoxy. Tremble at his goodness, Fear the Lord and his goodness,
