And it shall devour their Palaces.
Brave things they are subject to Gods devouring fire,1 Oh let us as when the Disciples looked upon the fair buildings of the Temple and wept, saith Christ, There shall not be a stone left upon a stone; so when we look upon our brave Palaces, Oh let us consider how quickly the fire of Gods wrath may come and not leave a stone upon a stone. Let us look up to that place where Christ is gone to prepare mansions for us, and to that building that is eternal in the Heavens, made without hands. And thus through Gods mercy and assistance we have gone through this Eighth Chapter.
