The spirit of slumber.
Thus it is in the originall and perhaps (as it is well ges∣sed at by some) the word 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉,* 1.1 is deriued of 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, which signifieth might, to signifie some deepe sleepe, wherewith men are vsually possessed in the dead of the night, & this senselesse slumber may well be an effect, and the issue of a pricking and enraged conscience.
The Doctrine which I raise hence is this,* 1.2 that God in
descriptionPage 30
his iust iudgements doth many times (to punish mens vn∣thankefulnesse and contempt of the truth,) depriue them of all sense both of their sinnes and of Gods anger and displeasure against sinne, in so-much that neither by plagues nor promises they will suffer themselues to bee awakened out of this deepe sleepe and dead securit••e. I∣say 28.15.
The reasons hereof (in respect of the wicked them∣selues,) are, first because they reuolt and depart from the word of God, and hence become so blockish that they haue no sense at all, neither acknowledge Gods hand and counsaile in their paines and punishments.
Secondly enioying long peace and prosperity, and ha∣uing no open and professed enemies,* 1.3 they like the secure citty of Laish and the proud & carelesse whore of Babylon thinke they are farre from al danger and shall see no euill.
Thirdly, they vainely imagine that they haue sufficient defense and prouision against imminent euils, and if they fall out they haue waies and meanes enough to elude and escape them.
Let vs be aduised from the consideration of Gods hand vpon the Iewes, and beware and take heed that we neuer despise nor reiect the gospell and blessings of Christ pro∣pounded and offered vnto vs; least with them wee bee left and forsaken in our naturall blindnesse and by conti∣nuing stubbernely and stifly in our sinnes wee become worse and worse, and so die in our sinnes and bee dam∣ned.
