Israel, here's another argument indeed; Israel, I remember 1thy Father, I remember that mighty Prince who wrestled with me and prevailed, and I account it my glory to be the glory of Israel, and his seed: What, art thou the posterity of Israel, of such a one so deer to me, and such a Prince that heretofore prevailed with me in prayer? What, art thou his posterity? Oh! how shall I deliver thee up, Israel? Oh when God looks upon them he sees them sinful and wretched, but when he looks upon what they were in reference to their forefathers, How shall I give thee up, Israel?

How shall I make thee as Admah? How shall I set thee as Zeboim?
Admah and Zeboim, they were the names of two Cities, that were two of the five Cities that were together with Sodom and Gomorrah; now four of these five Cities were destroyed by fire from Heaven, for the wickedness of them, and one of them only was spared for Lot's sake. But this Admah and Zeboim were two of the Cities that the judgments of God was most terrible upon; the Apostle Jude in his Epistle, the 7. verse, saith, That they did suffer the vengeance of eternal fire. Now saith God here, The truth is, you have provoked me as much as Admah and Zeboim have done, their sins were not greater than yours, and there is as great wrath that belongs to you as to them, but oh! how shall I do it? how shall I make thee as Admah and Zeboim? how is it possible for me to find in my heart to yield to do it?
