9. If this story of Lot's Wife be true, and do live in our memory, Then here we may see by way of Instruction: That though God will lay out an hiding place for his people, in times of public Calamity: Yet if they sin in the way, they may perish or miscarry in the very face of their hiding place. It appears that L•t had lost his Wife before he came at Zoar, Gen. 19. 30. And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the Mountain, and his two Daughters with him. We don't read, he lost her in Zo•r, but in the way to Zo•r; he would not go to the Mountain that God chose for him, but to Zoar: Now here in the way he sinned, and in the way to this hiding •lace he lost his Wife: So that though God in time of public Calamity, may indulge, or find out a hiding place for us, yet if we sin, we may perish even in the very way to our hiding place.
