The first Use that we may make of this sad truth, may be according to the work of this day, to discover to us what cause we have to afflict our souls, and to abhor our selves in dust and ashes, before the Lord.

For behold, God is contending with this Kingdom by fire; the fire of the sword (so called often in the Scripture) is sent upon us, and marcheth through the breadth of the Land, in the widest extent of the Kingdom, even from the furthermost parts of the West, to the uttermost parts of the North: A Sword, I say, the worst of all Judgements (witness the sad Catalogue of evils here that do accompany it, ut supra;) yea, a Civill Sword, the worst of all Swords; a Foreign Sword hits at random; But this knows whom to smite, and where to ⟨p. 17⟩make the deepest wounds, Brother embrues his hands in the Brothers blood, and a mans enemies are these of his own house; and therefore the more enemies, because of his own house. No Quarrel so fierce, no feud so mortal, as those are between the nearest relations, when Coals of division are once kindled amongst them.
