5 J will put you in remembrance, for as much as you know this, how that after the Lord had delivered his people out of Egypt, he destroyed them afterwards which believed not. 6 And the Angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation: he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness, unto the judgement of the great day. 7 As Sodom and Gomorrah, and the Cities about them, which in like manner as they did, committed, and followed strange flesh, are set forth for an example and endure the like vengeance of eternal fire.

5 To put in mind. He either excuseth for modesty sake, least he may seem to ⟨image 132⟩teach them, as rude people of things, which they know not: or in deed (which liketh me better) for the more vehemency, he testifieth that he doeth not bring them any thing, which they had not heard of before: To the end that that which he was to speak, might have the more credit and authority. He sayeth, I only bring to your remembrance those things, which you have learned already. But as he doeth attribute unto them knowledge, to the end they may be the more watchful to take heed: So lest they might think the labour, which he undertook towards them to be needless, he sayeth they have need of admonitions.
