The Seventh Rule.
There is a peculiar concernment lying upon the Young People, among us▪ to be Afraid of those Judgments, in which they see the Great God consuming of our Young People, with His Fiery Indignation. It may be said, about the Young men of N Eng. as it was of old said about the Young men of Israel, in Psal. 78.63. The Fire Consumed their Young m•n. And as when the earth Swallowed up some ⟨p. 25⟩Young People in the Wilderness of old, it is said, The Rest Fled at the cry of them, saying, Lest the earth Swallow us up also. Behold, O our Young Folks, the Earth, and the Sea, and the Pit, have been terribly Swallowing up your Brethren. Fly then, with affrighted Souls, Fly, to the Lord Jesus Christ, and say, Lord, I am afraid lest thy Judgments do Swallow me up also. Young People, O that you would suitably lay to Heart, the Dreadful Judgments of God, which are Consuming of your Generation among us. Behold, Vain Youths, Behold, how the Wasting Judgments of God have been upon you, till we cry out, The Curse ha's devoured our Land, and few Young men are Left!
