243. The sins of professors quickly ripe.
The sins of a professing people or Nation, are sooner ripe, then the sins of the wild world, as fruit that grows more in the Sun, they are concocted and come to maturity sooner: and therefore ('tis observable that) God bears longer with the world, yea, and (in a sense) deals more gently in their punishment. The sin of the Amorites was long (many years) ere it was full ripe; but Israels was ripe in forty years; and seeing they were known of any people of the Earth, therefore God will visit upon them all their iniquities, and that to their cost, they shall more intensely feel his wrath. How dear was this Israel unto God, by how many sweet, loving and precious appellations were they called? his people, his ⟨p. 77⟩spouse, his treasure, his Jewels, his darling, and yet God cast them to the dogs. Oh how should England hear, and fear, and do no more so wickedly, lest God make a quick dispatch, and do as by Asia, remove the Candles and the Candlesticks out of their place.
