55 Look wheresoever in Realm, City, town, or household there is any remnant of ⟨p. 61⟩the Lords seed, although it sustaineth for a while some injury, as Noah in the old world,1 Lot in Sodom, Jeremiah among his people, and Abraham with his, yet as they are preserved from many judgements by these men, so their eyes shall see them fall in the end. The world is not covered with water, until Noah be provided for in the Ark, Sodom is spared until Lot be delivered, and the Lord even rebuked Kings for his servant Abraham's sake. If this were so in the infancy of the Church, whilst it was in one or few families, how much more will the Lord govern and preserve it now under the kingdom of Jesus Christ, if peaceably we wait, until the arm of the Lord be revealed unto us?

The world is not couered with water, vntill Noah be prouided for in the Arke, Sodome is spared vntill Lot be deliuered, and the Lord euen rebuked Kings for his seruant Abrahams sake. If this were so in the infancie of the Church, whilest it was in one or few families, how much more will the Lorde gouerne and preserue it now vnder the kingdome of Iesus Christ, if peaceably wee waite, vntill the arme of the Lord be reuealed vnto vs?
