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.
When Sodom was burned, Zoar stood safe: when Jerusalem was destroyed, Bethlehem 1stood still: so the Lord doth always provide for his people, though he make never so great a slaughter and destruction amongst his enemies.
