Such Sights we have had among us. But, How should our Hearts be affected with them? Truly, so Affected as to be Cautioned. Oh, Beware, Beware of the Impieties, which you see Punished by God. When Corah was fearfully Swallowed up with an Earthquake, we read; Numb. XVI. 34. All that were round about them, fled at the Cry of them; for they said, Lest the Earth swallow us up also. Verily, the Sinners whom you have seen swallowed up, with the Scattering and Consuming Judgments of God, and who have Perished from among the Congregation, make a fearful Cry in our Ears. At this Cry, Oh, Fly from their Impieties, and say, Lest the Judgments of GOD swallow us up also!
