The time is come at once, when Sodom must be burned, and Lot delivered. Zoar is preserved for Lot, as Lot was for Abraham. If Sodom had not been wholly wicked, he had not changed his dwelling: he could have procured •ercie to it, as well as to Zoar. Now at once the Sun rises upon Zoar, and fire falls •owne upon Sodom. Abraham stands on the hill, and beholds the Cities smoking. Lot is secure in his new habitation, and neither feels nor fears the Judgement. […] is fair weather with the Saints, when it is fowlest with the wicked. When •armes of hornets sting and wound the Egyptians, not a fly must touch an Israelite. •hat such a winged army came not from nature or fortune, it is plain; but from […] offended God: because the very flies shall make a difference betwixt Egypt and ••shen. He that gave them a being, sets them a stint: they can no more sting an Israel, than spare an Egyptian. The wings of those small creatures are directed by a providence, and confess their limits.
