A commentary or, exposition upon the divine second epistle general, writtenA commentary or, exposition vpon the diuine second epistle generall, written

The Apostle having dogmatically confuted, and prophetically condemned, the depravers of true doctrine: proceeds to an exemplary demonstration of the judgements of God upon sinners. For God cannot be sibi dissimilis, […] like to himself: nor doth tolerate that in one, which he doth punish in another: b•• hates iniquity wheresoever he finds it, and preserves one immutable tenor of his Justice. Whensoever sin goes before, punishment shall certainly follow after, no less seasonable repentance come between. Of this he makes A Relation, to Vers. 8. Illation, Vers. 9.

THe Apostle having dogmatically confuted, and prophetically condemned, the depravers of true doctrine: proceeds to an exemplary demonstration of the judgements of God upon sinners. For God cannot be sibi dissimilis, 〈…〉 like to himselfe: nor doth tolerate that in one, which he doth punish in another: b•• hates iniquity wheresoever he finds it, and preserves one immutable tenor of his Iustice. Whensoever sin goes before, punishment shall certainely follow after, no lesse seasonable repentance come betweene. Of this he makes A Relation, to Vers. 8. Illation, Vers. 9.

The Relation considers two generals; Gods Justice in punishing offenders, Mercy in sparing his servants. This holds in three Histories. 1. Of the Angels, they that fell, are confounded; there's his Justice: they that stood are conserved, there's his mercy. 2. Of the old world; when the impenitent were swept away with a flood; there's his Justice: and righteous Noah with seven more for his sake, were saved in the Ark; there's his Mercy. 3. Of Sodom and her sister-cities when fire from heaven burnt up the reprobates; there's his Justice: and righteous Lot was delivered; there's his mercy.
