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

It was not long after Lot's sojourning in the wicked City of Sodom, that Wars break forth, and they are invaded by four great Kings: namely, Amraphel, Arioch, Chedarlaomer, and Tidal, because ⟨p. 6⟩of their Rebellion against Chedarlaomer, whom they had served twelve years before. The history of which Wars with the event thereof, we have in the 14th. Chapter of Genesis. Against which Army of the four Kings were gathered together the five Kings of the Cities of the Plain and their people, who joined together in battle with their enemies in the Vale of Siddim: But the four Kings were too mighty for the five, and smiting them, obtained Victory over them: Whether the Army of the four Kings were too numerous, or more Warlike and expert in battle; or whether the guilt of the people under the five Kings weakened their hands, and enfeebled their Spirits, it is not said: but this we may reasonably judge that their sins were the cause of their overthrow, and that God did hereby warn them to repent and turn from the evil of their doings, lest a worse evil should overtake and utterly destroy them.
