The first notice we have of Sodom is in the 13th. Chapter of Genesis. It was in the early years of ⟨p. 5⟩the World that Sodom flourished; the sinners of Sodom were co•emporary with Abraham the Father […] the Faithful; none was like Abraham upon the Earth for goodness, and none were like the Sodomites •on the Earth for wickedness, the Text saith▪ they •re sinners before the Lord exceedingly, […]. […]. We read that Abraham (had upon the […] of […], •r saken his Fathers House and Kindred, •d cam• i• Canaan with L•t, his Brother […] Son, who so journed together for a while in […] Land, which God promised to give unto t• Posterity of Abraham for a possession; here the wealth and substance, the Flocks and Herds •th of Abraham and Lot through God's blessings w•re increased greatly, insomuch as they could not longer live well together, because of the abundance of their Cattle, and some strife which did arise between their Herdmen; therefore Abraham, that all occasions of contention might be avoided, desires Lot to divide and separate himself with his Cattle, and choose either the right hand or the left, and himself would take that way which he should refuse: Lot complieth with this motion and reasonable proposition; and▪ lifting up his eyes, beholdeth the Plains of Jordan that they were well watered, even as the Garden of the Lord, and therefore, making choice of these Plains for his Cattle, he journeyeth East-ward towards Sodom, one of the Cities of the Plains, where himself did take up his habitation.
