16 Lord, for God will have many a ſad queſtion to lay home to your conciences that we hall not be able to anſwer: for my part, I think happy are they that hath their eyes cloſed, and ſhall not ſee the evil that is coming on theſe nations. The Bible, the Word of God, can hardly give a parallel, neither the generations before, nor at this day can they parallel our ſin; and therefore lay theſe things to heart. The churches abroad are hiſſing at us the day: and therefore I leave theſe things upon you, and the Lord bleſs them to you; for I fear that we ſhall all have to do with it before the ſtorm go over, that we ſhall certainly meet with in theſe lands.

is the Kirk of God in Scotland the day? It is not among the great clergy folk? ſirs, I'll tell you where the kirk of God is, wherever there is a praying laſs or lad at a dyke-ſide in Scotland, a praying party will ruin them, yet, ſirs, and a praying party ſhall go thro' the ſtorm: but many of you in this country-ſide ye ken not theſe things; the weight of the broken kirk of God in Scotland never troubles you, the loſs of a cow, or two-three of your beaſts, or an ill market-day goes nearer your hearts nor all the troubles of the kirk of God in Scotland. Well then, thou poor body, that will reſolve to follow him, pray faſt, if there were but one of you, he will be the ſecond; if there were but two of you our Lord will be the third; ye need not fear that ye ſhall want company, our Lord will be your company
