And as if God did intend yet to show us his judgements more near to us: the fire breaks out in that corner of the nation that we least feared, which should cause us to repent in Sackcloth and ashes; We know it is the case of our Sovereign that we should take this to heart: We know that David when the judgements of God was upon him in his child, then he fasted and humbled his soul with fasting; yea and is he did when affections were upon others of his Brethren, that were no great friends unto him.
