If Religion amongst men be once degenerated into Farm (as a fruitful into a barren Vine) what can be expected but that the Righteou•nesse of God should be arm'd with Power, for the punishment of such an unprofitable People? We know, The barren Fig-tree, being curst by Christ, presently withered away. When a Nation flourishes in the Leaves of Formality, without the Fruits of solid Piety, who knows how soon it may be cast into a withering condition? Surely, Formal Services will at length procure real Sufferings. |
