CHAP. I. The Text opened, and a general Doctrine observed.
The Lord is known by the judgements which He executeth, whereby he giveth Sinners to understand even in this World, that, as he is patient and longsuffering, merciful and gracious, and ready to be reconciled: so that he is Holy and jealous, just and righteous, and that he can be angry, and express his anger in furious rebukes, when by sin he is exceedingly provoked hereunto. And as the anger of the Lord, in the height and fierceness of it, is compared unto Fire, unto a flaming Fire, which devoureth round about, Lam. 2. 3. So his ⟨p. 2⟩most dreadful judgements, the expressions of his anger are by Fire, especially by Fire mingled with Brimstone. Such showers of Fire and Brimstone God doth threaten to rain upon the wicked in the Text: Upon the wicked he shall rain Snares, Fire, and Brimstone and an horrible Tempest, this shall be the portion of their Cup.
