Here may you see how God plagued, & overcame his enemies: how he drowned Pharaoh in the red sea, and his horses and men, and Chariots altogether. Her• may you see Nebuchadnezzar a mighty Prince, so bereft of his wits, that he forsook his Palaces, and the company and order of men, and lived in the fields after the manner of beasts. Here may you see how God stroke King Antiochus and King Herod with filthy diseases, & caused lice to eat their flesh. Howe he sent down fire and brimstone from Heaven and destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, for their sins. Howe he made the earth open and swallow up Dathan and Ab••am, how King Uzziah was stricken ⟨p. 191⟩with Leprosy, and carried from the Temple, and cut off from his kingdom. What stories of any princes or people in any age can report unto us so strange battles, so mighty conquests, so wonderful deliverance in extremities, so dreadful subduing of the enemies, as the hand of God hath wrought, and the story of the Scriptures declareth unto us?
