Let us now look into particular examples: we shall see in many places of the Scriptures,1 that the Lord rendereth this reason of his coming to vengeance, even because his word was forlorn. As Genes. 6. where we may see that after they had begun to corrupt religion, as in the last verse of the fourth chapter of Genesis appeareth, and thereby they begun to mix themselves in corrupt marriage, and after sin had grown to such perfection, when not a few, but almost all men; not in a few things, but in all things; not at one time, but at all times, even then in this general flood of iniquity, the Lord threatened to send a general flood of destruction. And as this is apparent in the whole world, now let us see it in more particular places and persons. The Lord complaineth, Genesis 18. that the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah cried out to heaven for judgement, where sin was so high, that there was no difference between Magistrate and subject, like people like priest, all were defiled, then came fire and brimstone from heaven.
