Fire and brimstone from heaven, from earth, in hell, or, Three discourses I. Concerning…

II. This example of Sodom's burning doth warn the ungodly to repent. Repent O all the ungodly ones, and turn from your evil ways, otherwise your iniquities like the Sodomites will be your ruin; otherwise Gods Judgement will overtake you, and surprise you, and you shall not be able to escape; otherwise you shall be destroyed suddenly, and that without remedy. You se• in this instance the fruit of ungodliness, the wages of Sin, the bitter issue and effect of flesh-pleasing and sensuality, you see that God can be angry, and that his anger doth burn worse than fire, when it is kindled.

If you repent not, God may bring some dreadful temporal judgements upon you, you have seen much in your days, Plague, Fire, Sword; you have heard of more in former days. You know not what further calamities may be brought upon this City and Nation; God may bring Plague and Famine together, so that such who do not fall suddenly by the Plague, shall be consumed more leisurely by the Famine; he may bring a Famine of Bread, and Famine of hearing the Word together, wherein the Body shall starve and dye, and the Soul starve and be damned, and perish everlastingly; he may bring Fire and the Sword together, your houses may be set on Fire, and your ⟨p. 45⟩persons Massacred at the same time. And alas what will you (that are Ungodly) do in a time of general calamity? if the Pestilence should walk about your streets, if the evil Arrows of Famine should fly about your ears, if fire should consume your houses, if the Sword should be made drunk with your Blood, if Death should sit in your Windows, if all things should be turned into uproar and confusion; you that drink in iniquity like Water, and lade your selves with guilt daily you that are profane and ungodly and spend your time in idleness, and all kind of luxury, sleeping in the Harvest, and shutting your ears against all the tenders of grace and mercy, which are made unto you; what will become of you in the Winter of affliction? what comfort can you have upon a Bed of Sickness? what refuge in a time of trouble? A Godly Man hath his God to fly to, in times of greatest danger and distress, and there he shall find entertainment and welcome; But whether will you fly? God is your enemy, who will laugh at your calamity,
