God in His dealing with sinful churches and nations - I

When a land, a nation, a city, a church, is filled with sin, so as that God gives them warnings or indications of his displeasure by previous judgments, or other extraordinary signs, if they are not as warnings complied withal by repentance and reformation, they are tokens of approaching judgments, that shall not be avoided. This is the sacred truth which our Lord Jesus Christ doth here recommend to our observation.
