THE
Lay-Man’s
SERMON
UPON THE
LATE STORM;
Held forth at an Honest
Coffee-House-Conventicle.
Not so much a Jest as ’tis thought to be.
Printed in the Year 1704.
NAHUM. I. III
The Lord has his way in the Whirle-Wind and in the
Storm, and the Clouds are the Dust of his Feet.
This Text is not chosen more for the Suitableness to the present Callamity, which has been the Portion of this Place, than for the aptness of the Circumstances, 'twas spoken of God going to Chastise, a Powerful, Populous, Wealthy and most reprobate City.
