God's terrible voice in the city

God spake terribly by fire when London was in flames, of which in the application; but he will speak far more terribly when Babylon shall be in flames; and not only in part, but wholly, and utterly, and irreparably burnt and turned into ashes: when not only the City shall be consumed, but also the Whore her self shall be hated and made desolate, and devoured with fire by the Kings of the earth, Rev. 17. 10.

The last instance of Gods speaking terribly by fire will be the last day, when the Lord Jesus ⟨p. 15⟩Christ, the Judge of Quick and Dead, shall come down from heaven in flaming fire, to take vengeance on all those that know not God, and obey not the Gospel, 2 Thes. 1. 7, 8. And the Apostle Peter tells us, that the heavens and the earth are reserved in store for fire against this day: when the Heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the Elements melt with fervent heat, and the Earth, and all the works therein shall be burnt up, 2 Pet. 3. 7, 10. Then God will speak terribly by fire, and above all, most terribly to the ungodly world, when he will sentence them unto, and cast them into the Fire of Hell, where they must dwell with devouring fire, and inhabit everlasting burnings.

4. The Sword is a dreadful Judgement, whereby God speaks sometimes very terribly; especially when he draws it forth against his own and his peoples Enemies. Hear how terribly God speaks, as in, Deut. 32. 39, 40, 41, 42
