Note.
It is our duty to observe and mark, as the way of sinful men, so the way in which God punisheth their sin.
It is our duty to observe and marke, as the way of sinfull men, so the way in which God punisheth their sinne.
All the ways of God are to be marked; as we are to observe what the Lord speaks, so what he doth; his works as well as his word, are remarkable. Who so is wise (saith the Psalmist, Psal. 107.43.) and will observe these things, even they shall understand the loving kindness of the Lord. I may say also, that they shall understand the judgements of the Lord. And again, the Prophet confirms it (Hos. 14.9.) Who is wise and he shall understand these things prudent and he shall know them; for the ways of the Lord are right, and the Just shall walk in them, but the transgressors shall fall therein. The wicked fall in the way of his commandments, and therefore surely they shall fall in the way of his judgements. And as the Lord hath given us Examples of this, so he hath given this as the use of those Examples that we should mark and observe them. The Apostle (1 Cor. 10.) shows that all the dealings of God with that his ancient People the Jews, are written and recorded as our Examples (ver. 5, 6, 7.) With many of them God was not well pleased, but they were overthrown in the wilderness. Now these things were our Examples, to the Intent that we should not lust after evil things as they lusted, neither be Idolaters, as some of them were, nor fornicators, ⟨p. 141⟩
