In the time of Noah and Lot, 1God destroyed the whole world with water; and the Cities of Sodom and Gomorra, Sebiom and Adamah, 2with fire and brimstone from heaven for their sins: namely, for their whoredoms, pride, idleness, unmercifulness to the poor, tyranny, &c. In which wrath of God, even the very babes, birds, fowls, fishes, herbs, trees, and ⟨p. 33⟩grass perished: and think we that nothing will be spoken to us, much worse, and more abominable then they? For all men may see, if they will, that the whoredoms, pride, unmercifulness, tyranny, &c. of England, far passeth in this age, any age that ever was before. Lots wife looking back,3 was turned into a salt stone: and will our looking back again, yea our turning back a gain, to our wickedness, do us no hurt? If we were not already more then blind Beetles, we would blush. Pharaoh his heart was hardened so, that no miracle could convert him: if ours were any thing soft, we would begin to sob.
