5. And to make you the more earnest, look on, and take warning by every awful monument of Gods displeasure on this account. There are those Judgments of his in the World, which he designs to be exemplary, for the rousing up of secure sinners, and terrifying of them under the apprehension of his Holiness therein displayed. When any are left by God to themselves, and by their own naughtiness run themselves upon the sword of civil Justice, and must be cut off by it, God would have all Israel to hear, and fear, and do no more so presumptuously. Such an one we have now, in the Providence of God set before us; and the ⟨p. 22⟩Lord give us all the Grace to learn by it, and let young ones in a special manner, and more peculiarly, such as are in their sins, and leading a course, possibly as vile and abominable as that was which led her into this snare; take warning from this, and let it be a solemn admonition to you: let her History be your Caution, lest God be provoked to make you an History too.
