1. Sicknesses, diseases and all sorts of judgements are wholly at Gods disposal. Affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground, yet man is borne to trouble, as the sons of the burning coal lift up in flying, Job. 5. 6, 7.

Let the truth of this, be found upon them that hate us, and the interpretation thereof, be to the enemies, of this Nation: but the Lord knows, all our hearts may well tremble, at what will be the issue of the visitations of the last years.
