Yet another good deed of Lots was that he fought to deliver his sons in Law, and persuaded them to get them out of Sodom too.1 We should labour not alone to get out of Sodom our selves, but to help others out also, whether it be out of the sins or out of the punishment of Sodom. We should detest that selfish humour which prevaileth with many, if themselves escape danger, they care not what becomes of others. O self-love is a fruit of brutishness, charity of a right understanding. Live not like beasts, if they see peril approaching, they run away for their own safe-guard and never consider of the rest: let us strive to draw as many as we can out of sin and misery.
