CHAP. IX. Application to the Righteous.
2 Lot's escaping out of the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, is an example for the encouragement of the Righteous: what ever judgement the Lord bringeth upon the wicked and ungodly here, you that are righteous shall escape, God will hide you in the day of his anger; when a Deluge of Judgements shall break in upon the ungodly, God will provide an Ark for you; when God raineth a horrible Tempest of Fire and Brimstone upon the wicked, he will provide a Zoar for you. God will either keep you from the judgement it self which befalleth others, or else he will keep you in it, and from that fiery indignation, which is mingled with it; be sure you shall be kept from the horrible Tempest of Fire and Brimstone, which shall beat upon the head of the wicked at last, when the Heavens shall be on Fire, and pass away with a great noise, and the Elements shall be on Fire, and melt with fervent h•at, and the Earth shall be on Fire, and all things here below in flames; when the wrath of the Sin-revenging God shall break forth like a Deluge upon the Ungodly World, and they shall be cast together into the Lake, which burneth with Fire and Brimstone; Heaven shall be you• Ark, your Zoar, where you shall be in safety, and made happy in the full enjoyment of God unto […] eternity.
