Thou seest what is become of thy sons: let them be as a looking-glass ⟨p. 32⟩for thee. Children may teach their parents, parents are often whipped upon their children's backs. The hand of God upon others points towards us, and while they are smitten we are instructed. The Apostle sums up the most remarkable judgements which fell upon the Jews in their passage from Egypt to Canaan, and closeth all with this application to Christians, These things happened unto them as ensamples, and they are written for our admonition, &c. to the intent that we should not lust, 1 Cor. 10.11. As if he had said, God let them fall into the hand of their sins, and their falls may help us to keep our feet. Their falls were types (so the word is) these things happened unto them typically, in them we may see what God will do with us, if we take their course, and go their way.
