Christ saith.1 Memores estote vx oris Loth. Remember Lot's wife? She was a woman that would not be content with her good state, but wrestled with Gods calling, & she was for that cause turned into a salt stone, & therefore the scripture doeth name her as an example for us to take heed by. Ye shall see also in the second Chapter, how that God almighty spared not a number of his Angels,2 which had sinned against him to ⟨image 98⟩make them examples to us to beware by. He drowned the whole world in the time of Noah and destroyed for sin the Cities of Sodom & Gomorrah.3 And why? Fecit eos exemplum i•s qui impre forent acturi. He made them an example to them that would do wickedly in time to come. If God would not spare them, think ye he will favour us? Thus may this man be an example to us. Let us all subjects judge well of our magistrates, in such matters and be content with their doings.4 & look not to be of the counsel.
