so shall the coming of the Son of man be. Luke 17. 28. Likewise also it was in the days of Lot, when in Sodom the Sun shined in the morning, and all was well, even then came the wrath of God from heaven. When the old world was making mirth, and thought of nothing less than of drowning, until Noah went into the Ark, suddenly the waters came upon them.

Thou hast (saith David) trodden down in times past, thou wilt tread down again. 2. Pet. 2. 4. If God spared not his Angels that had sinned, but cast them down into hell, nor the old world, nor Sodom. &c. Thus our Saviour Christ, and with him his Apostles, teach by precepts and confirm by examples, and so must all the godly Ministers approve and teach this doctrine, that the godly may have their faith established in Gods promises, and to leave the wicked excuse less against the day of judgement. They have left us a president to follow, whereby we must be awaked from slum bring, that Gods children may stoop, and the rest be committed to the righteous judgement of God. We see how we may profit by examining several judgements for several sins, hath not God appointed in his word, and
