I. The infinite God is engaged against thee.
It is no small Part of thy Misery, that thou art without God, Eph. 2.12. How doth Micah run crying after the Danites, You have taken away my Gods, and what have I more? Judges 18.23.24. Oh, what a Mourning then must thou lift up, that art without God, that canst lay no Claim to him, without daring Usurpation! Thou mayest say of God, as Sheba o• David, We have no Part in David, neither have w• Inheritance in the Son of Jesse, 2 Sam. 20.1. Ho• pitiful and piercing a Moan is that of Saul, in hi• Extremity? The Philistines are upon me, and God is d•• parted from me, 1 Sam. 28.15. Sinners, But what w• you do in the Day of your Visitation? Whither will y• flee for Help? Where will you have your Glory? Isa. 10.• What will you do when the Philistines are upon you; when the World shall take its eternal Lea• of you; when you must bid your Friends, House Lands, farewell for evermore? What will you • then, I say, that have never a God to go to? W• you call on him? Will you cry to him for Help Alas! he will not own you,
