But yet the greatness, the beauty, the strength, and riches of this city, could not withstand the hand of God, or keep it from destruction, but rather further it and hasten it. For with the more excellent ornaments that it was adorned by the Lord, the more heinous and grievous in his sight was the abuse of them. Therefore the hugeness, nor the strength of this or any other City, can save it from the judgement of God, being sinful in his sight.

But yet the greatnesse, the beautie, the strength, and riches of this citie, could not withstand the hand of God, or keep it from destruction, but rather further it and hasten it. For with the more excellent ornaments that it was adorned by the Lord, the more haynous and grieuous in his sight was the abuse of them. Therefore the hugenesse, nor the strength of this or any other Citie, can saue it from the iudgement of God, being sinfull in his sight.

Great Sodom is destroyed: Jericho is destroyed: ¹great Nineveh is destroyed: great Jerusalem is destroyed, and great Rome the room of all unclean spirits, stayeth for her destruction, like a whore that stayeth for her punishment till she be delivered: and all these were punished for unthankfulness and contempt of the word of God. Yet Jericho, nor Sodom, nor Nineveh, have had half the preaching that we have: yet we are unthankful too.

Great Sodom is destroyed: Ierico is destroyed: ¹great Niniuie is destroyed: great Ierusalem is destroyed, and great Rome the roome of all vncleane spirits, stayeth for her destruction, like a whoore that stayeth for her punishment till she be deliuered: and all these were punished for vnthankefulnesse and contempt of the worde of God. Yet Ierico, nor Sodome, nor Niniuie, haue had halfe the preaching that we haue: yet we are vnthankefull too.
