And this being the best state that sin bringeth (in this life) which I have now mentioned, let it fear the godly to taste of the dainties of such, (as they count them) lest they with Eve reaching out their 1hands after them, do taste also of their punishments in such wise, as they wish with many stripes, that they had never done so.

Verse 42. And on the morrow the people went out into the field, which was told Abimelech. 43. And he took the people and divided them into three bands, and laid wait in the fields and looked, and behold, the people were come out of the city, and he rose up against them and smote them. 44. And Abimelech and the bands that were with him rushed forward, and stood in the entering of the gates of the city, and the two other bands ran upon all the people that were in the field and slew them. 45. And when Abimelech had fought against the city all that day, he took the city, and slew the people that was therein, and destroyed the city, and sowed Salt in it. 46. And when all the men of the Tower of Shechem heard it, they entered into an hold of the house of the god Berith. 47. And it was told Abimelech that all the men of Shechem were gathered together. 48. And Abimelech gate him up to Mount Zalmon, he and all the people that were with him, and Abimelech took axes with him, and cut down boughs of trees, and took them, and bare them on his shoulder, and said unto the folk that were with him, What ye have seen me to do, make hast and do like me. 49. Then all the people also cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put them to the hold, and set the hold on fire with them. 50. So all the men of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women.
