Fire in this place is not taken strictly, as opposed to water; God indeed hath often made fire in kind his scourge. And the Apostle Jude saith of Sodom, That it suffered the vengeance of eternal fire. But all the judgements of God are in Scripture compared to fire (Mala. 4.1.) Behold the day cometh that shall burn like an Oven, and all the proud, yea all that do wickedly shall be stubble, and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither fruit nor branch. There is a burning, and not by fire; There is so great a judgement and terror in fire let loose and breaking its bounds, that it may well signify all judgements, or any thing that is terrible. (Isa. 52.4.) As the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust. Thus here, the remnant of them the fire consumeth, that is, the wrath of God appearing in some visible judgement consumeth the remnant.

Fire in this place is not taken strictly, as opposed to water; God indeed hath often made fire in kinde his scourge. And the Apostle Jude saith of Sodome, That it suffered the vengeance of eternall fire. But all the judgements of God are in Scripture compared to fire (Mala. 4.1.) Behold the day cometh that shall burne like an Oven, and all the proud, yea all that doe wickedly shall be stubble, and the day that cometh shall burne them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither fruit nor branch. There is a burning, and not by fire; There is so great a judgement and terror in fire let loose and breaking its bounds, that it may well signifie all judgements, or any thing that is terrible. (Isa. 52.4.) As the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaffe, so their roote shall be rottennesse, and their blossome shall goe up as dust. Thus here, the remnant of them the fire consumeth, that is, the wrath of God appearing in some visible judgement consumeth the remnant.
