[The Second SERMON.]
BUT I intend all this Discourse, as only an Introduction unto a more Entertaining Recapitulation of the Divine Judgments, which we have seen Executed upon Several Sorts of Sinners, among our Selves. It cannot but be much for the Glory of our Lord JESUS CHRIST, who from His Glorious High Throne dispensed these ⟨p. 27⟩Judgments: It cannot but be a Satisfaction unto the Good Angels of the Lord, who are oftentimes the Executioners of these Judgments: It is an Holy Undertaking, and it cannot but Serve the Interests of Holiness; to make our modest Observations, upon the Judgments of God, which have been Executed among us. As far as it may be Convenient in this Discourse, I will now Address my self unto this undertaking. Sirs, Give me your Attention.
When that Great Man, the Emperor Mauritius, beheld his Family overwhelmed in terrible Calamities and Five Hopeful Branches of his Family Slain before his Eyes, he humbly Recited those words of the Psalmist, in Psal. 119 137▪ Righteous art Thou, O Lord, and Right are thy Judgments. My Neighbours, We have ever now and then, those Calamitous Things before our Eyes in our Neighbourhood, which, if we are not blind, we must pronounce, The Right Judgments of a Righteous God. And I must now ask you, to take some Notice of those Judgments.
