1. As for the first, If it be said, what of Lot's Wife is to be remembred by us.

She was turned into a Pillar of Salt, she was stricken with a sore Judgment: A mortal deadly stroke: she was not stricken as Miriam, with a Leprosie; but with a mortal deadly stroke, she was stricken with Death.
2. As she was stricken with a mortal deadly stroke, so with a sudden stroke: She had no time given her to repent. It is a great mercy to die standing, to die exercising of grace: but to be stricken with death in the very height of ones sin, in the very act of ones sin, and to have no time given one to repent: This is a great judgment, and this befell her.
