Fifthly, note that with this people of Sodom and Gomorrah, the other Cities Admah and Zeboim, because they followed their sins were likewise destroyed.1 Where we learn to avoid the wicked manners and fashions of the world, not imitating these lesser Cities, which imitated the greater in their wicked manners; but on the contrary, follow the example of David, in shedding rivers of tears when he beheld men not keeping the laws of God. We should not with dry eyes behold mens impieties: ye• for this end our hearts should be like unto Lots; when we see the sins of our people break out as the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah, our righteous hearts should be vexed within us in the daily seeing and ••aring of such uncleanness.
