The First Remark.
Take a due and a deep Notice, I beseech you, of the Notable Judgments with which we have seen the Contempt of the Glorious Gospel, Revenged by the God of Glory. We have seen the Gospel, or, the Tidings of Salvation by the Lord Jesus Christ, for Miserable Sinners, Graciously Offered; We have seen the Offer of this Gospel, most ungratefully Refused; But of this Refusal, what Event have we seen? Truly, A very Terrible Event. I Remember a passage of Scripture, which runs thus in ⟨p. 29⟩our Translation, Isa. 2.22. Cease ye from man, whose Breath is in his Nostrils; for wherein is he to be accounted of? But, if you please, you may thus understand it. The Prophet is denouncing the Judgments of God, upon the Jews, for their Despising of the Messiah; and the Denunciation is thus Concluded: Now forbear as to that man, [or, cease from Offending and Provoking of Him,] who is now very Angry, [which the Hebrews Express, by Breathe in the Nostrils,] for none is able to declare, how high an Account is to be made of Him. Sirs, We have seen the God of Heaven very Angry; He ha's Breathed the Hot Lightnings of Death, out of His Nostrils; when People have made no Account of the Lord Jesus Christ, and of His Gospel. We have seen These Four or Five Remarkables among the rest.
