There are certain Signs, which are like the gathering of the Clouds: (1.) When Sin grievously abounds. (2.) When the Hand of God hath been lifted up, and yet Sinners are not humbled. (3.) When many faithful and eminent Servants of God are taken away by Death. (4.) When there are strange and wonderful Signs or Prodigies seen in the Heavens, or upon the Earth or Waters, &c. (5.) When the People of God generally, as one Man, do look for it; (for God usually goes first upon the Hearts of his own People in this respect.) (6.) When former Afflictions do not humble, nor work Reformation in Professors, and others.
