§. 21. Of Gods revenging the rebellious.
V. *The Lord revengeth the rebellious. This is true both of such as band themselves in open hostility against his Saints, and raise armies against his Church, and also of such as more privately oppose against them that bear his image, and contumeliously sin against him: as these Conspirators here did. aA fire went out from the Lord and devoured Nadab and Abihu. bThe fire of the Lord burnt among them that complained against him. cThe Lord smote the people that lusted with a very great Plague. dI will perform (saith the Lord) against Ely, all things which I have spoken concerning his house. Where men are instruments of punishing such, the Lord is the principal Author. They are Gods dMinisters, or rather Gods erod, staff, and fsword to smite his people withal.
