3. The Judgments God hath executed upon men for this sin of uncleanness, show the heinousness thereof. For this sin the Lord brought a flood of water upon the old World, Gen. 6. 2, 3. For this sin the Lord rained Fire and Brimstone upon Sodom and Gomorrah, Gen. 19. 5, 24. God saw it meet, that they who burned with the fire of Lust, should be consumed with the fire of Vengeance. We read this sin cut off three and twenty thousand of the Israelites in one day, 1 Cor. 10. 8. Neither let us commit Fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. As there is no resolved sinner, but God follows him with his Judgments: so he follows Whoremongers and Adulterers with strange punishments. Witness that strange, loathsome disease so common amongst them, which was not heard of till these latter Ages.
