So Moses doth, This is that which the Lord hath said. Do you see any remarkable hand of God in the execution of a judgement upon one, have recourse to Gods Word, and presently begin to think this, What is there in Gods Word against that sin that this man hath been guilty of? If you see a judgement of God upon a Drunkard, remember the threats in the Word of God against drunkenness, and so the judgements of God upon unclean Persons, swearers, Sabbath breakers, liars, or any profane and ungodly persons, have recourse to the judgements of God threatened in the Word against such; and so likewise concerning Scorners and Opposers of Religion, remember what is said in the Word of God against such, and so learn to Sanctify Gods Names. We might have mentioned some particular threats of God against particular sinners for the helping of you, that when you see exemplary judgements, to have recourse to the Word of God. But we let that pass.

A further Note from this story is this, 1That the great honour that God intends to his Name, It is the making of his Name Holy. I will be Sanctified in them that draw nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified.
