THE FIFTH EXAMPLE.
OF The Old World.
We have propounded particular Examples unto you hitherto, as also the Scriptures have done. Now following them, we must set before your eyes the Examples of an whole multitude, even of an whole World, full of men and women, that gave themselves to work wickedness before the Lord. It is called in Scripture, the old World, 1and the world of ungodly. In the space of a 1656. years the generation of mankind was grown to that height and exorbitancy of wickedness, that the patience of God could no longer endure them.
