If you repent not, God may bring some dreadful temporal judgements upon you, you have seen much in your days, Plague, Fire, Sword; you have heard of more in former days. You know not what further calamities may be brought upon this City and Nation; God may bring Plague and Famine together, so that such who do not fall suddenly by the Plague, shall be consumed more leisurely by the Famine; he may bring a Famine of Bread, and Famine of hearing the Word together, wherein the Body shall starve and dye, and the Soul starve and be damned, and perish everlastingly; he may bring Fire and the Sword together, your houses may be set on Fire, and your ⟨p. 45⟩persons Massacred at the same time. And alas what will you (that are Ungodly) do in a time of general calamity? if the Pestilence should walk about your streets, if the evil Arrows of Famine should fly about your ears, if fire should consume your houses, if the Sword should be made drunk with your Blood, if Death should sit in your Windows, if all things should be turned into uproar and confusion; you that drink in iniquity like Water, and lade your selves with guilt daily▪ you that are profane and ungodly▪ and spend your time in idleness, and all kind of luxury, sleeping in the Harvest, and shutting your ears against all the tenders of grace and mercy, which are made unto you; what will become of you in the Winter of affliction? what comfort can you have upon a Bed of Sickness? what refuge in a time of trouble? A Godly Man hath his▪ God to fly to, in times of greatest danger and distress, and there he shall find entertainment and welcome; But whether will you fly? God is your enemy, who will laugh at your calamity, Prov. 1. 26. Sinners! what will you do in the evil day, which may overtake you here on Earth, when all refuge and support shall fail you, when your comforts and enjoyments shall be taken from you, or taking leave of you; when God shall smite you, and conscience bite you▪ and Friends forsake you; when the black Catalogue of your Sins shall be spread before you▪ and grim Death shall appear unto you, bidding you come down into the Grave, and the Devil shall wait for you, to drag you down into Hell; O the confusion that then you will be in! when you ⟨p. 46⟩perceive that you cannot live, and you dare not dye;
