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

First, The Fire of London began only in one place, which awakened all the Inhabitants about to prepare, and secure themselves and their goods: but the Fire of Sodom began in all places together; there was fire without the City, and fire within, fire in every street, and in every house at the same time the Sodomites were compassed about with fire on all sides.

First, The Fire of London began only in one place, which awakened all the Inhabitants about to prepare, and secure themselves and their goods: but the Fire of Sodom began in all piaces together; there was fire without the City, and fire within, fire in every street, and in every house at the same time the Sodomits were compassed about with fire on all sides.

Secondly, The Fire of London consumed but a part, although it were the greatest part of the City within the Walls: but the Fire of Sodom consumed the whole City, turned all into ashes, and not one house therein did escape the fury of the flames.

Thirdly, The Fire of London, though it devoured the houses, yet much of the wealth and the best goods of the City were preserved; but Sodoms fire consumed all their Wealth, their Gold and Silver was melted, all their apparel and rich household furniture was burnt, and what ever provisions they had made for their flesh, what ever fuel they had laid up for their lusts became fuel for this Fire.
