Behold also the equity of Gods proceeding, he answers their sins with the kind and measure of punishment. Great sins and great waters. All flesh corrupted with sin, and all flesh cut off for sin, the earth filled with violence and now filled with waters. None took care to forbear almost any sin but Noah, and none escapes but Noah. No multitude of sinners can save them out of his hand, as all sinned so all perish. This great and heavy judgement should be often in our thoughts,1 we should think thus, if God spared not the old World neither will be spare us. It is S. Peters inference, and it is a great sin in us, that we do not often put our selves in mind of these things to frame our selves to humble obedience.
