Peace be with thee: Thy poverty be upon me. Care not (saith he) I will furnish that which wanteth. I nothing pass what thou hast with thee, or what thou hast not. The humanity of this man was great, which appeareth so much the more excellent, because he dwelled among the inhumane and cruel Gibeonites. He was borne & brought up in an other place, where the fear of God was more regarded, then among the Gibeonites. Yet he seemeth not herein to be praised, for that he dwelt so long among ungodly and wicked men.1 For we ought not to esteem any thing so much, that for the cause thereof we should have a will to dwell among idolatrous & wicked men. Wherefore if any grievous chance happen in that society unto men which are otherwise good, they can not complain that the same happeneth unto them undeserved. Lot sped ill because he dwelt among the Sodomites. He saw the country fertile and plentiful, & having great plenty of herds and flocks, he would abide there. But with that he escaped not unpunished. For once he was led away prisoner, and except Abraham had delivered him with an army which he had assembled, he should all his life time have served in most hard bondage. Afterward when these Cities were burnt, he scarcely escaped from burning. Which benefit he may ascribe rather unto Abraham, then unto himself:2 for if he had perished together with them, he should have had no cause to have complained of God. Evil fellowship always for the most part, either hurteth or eis engendereth danger.
Peace be with thee: Thy pouerty be vpon me. Care not (sayth he) I wil furnishe that whiche wanteth. I nothing passe what thou hast with thee, or what thou hast not. The humanity of this man was great, whiche appeareth so muche the more excellent, bycause he dwelled among the inhumane and cruel Gabaonites. He was borne & brought vp in an other place, where the feare of God was more regarded, then among the Gabaonites. Yet he seemeth not herein to be praysed, for that he dwelt so longe among vngodly and wicked men.1 For we ought not to esteme any thyng so much, that for the cause therof we should haue a will to dwell among idolatrous & wicked men. Wherfore if any greuous chaunce happen in that society vnto men which are otherwise good, they can not complayne that the same happeneth vnto them vndeserued. Lot sped yll bycause he dwelt among the Sodomites. He saw the coūtrey fertyll and plentifull, & hauing great plēty of heardes and flockes, he would abide there. But with that he escaped not vnpunished. For once he was led away prisoner, and except Abraham had delyuered him with an army which he had assembled, he should al his lyfe tyme haue serued in most hard bondage. Afterward when these Cityes were burnt, he scarsely escaped frō burning. Whiche benefite he may ascribe rather vnto Abraham, then vnto himself:
