This first particle AND, being a copulative, knitteth this upon the former History, as a consequence justly following thereon. Now in the former History the Sin of the people is laid down. For after that the Lord had manifested his fierce wrath against Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, with those that took part with them, by causing the earth to swallow up some of them alive, and by sending forth a fire to consume other of them, the people that saw these fearful spectacles of Gods vengeance, were so far from fear and trembling, as most audaciously, and presumptuously they murmured and gathered themselves together against Moses and Aaron, as the other, who were before destroyed, had done. Hereby the Lord was provoked to add, to the former judgements, the Plague here noted in my text. So as they added sin to sin: and the Lord added 1judgement to judgement. For their sin therefore the Lord plagued them. For by the multiplication of sin, they grew into a greater contempt then before.
