     summary: While Men in sin grew wiser yet , And various in their wickedness , God himself did think it fit Their punishment should be no less , The Air it self which makes our breath , Became an instrument of death , If still offences of a deeper die Offend his purer eye , He gives an other Judgment birth , Fire comes from Heav'n , or Fire from Earth Thus the four Elements take turns , He Drowns , he Swallows us alive , he Plagues , or else he Burns . Now uncontroul'd the greedy Fire Shews its unlimited desire , And though not high enough for sight , Makes all the neighbouring tops of houses bright , Like the warm Guest That takes his journey from the blooming East , Suppos'd himself t' appear , When yet beneath our Hemisphere , By those who his reflected rayes mistake , And think the Sun , and day together break : The Watches now in every street Eccho the dreadful noyse of Fire , Which calls with the same energy from bed , As the last Trumpet shall the dead , And bids them all draw nigher ,

     summary: Now that God hath overthrown some among us , as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah , it is time surely for those who have been guilty of Sodoms sins , to accuse themselves for their pride , fulness of bread , abundance of idleness , and not strengthning the hands of the Needy . Now that so many houses of God are burnt up , and laid waste in the City , and their Teachers are removed from them ; it is time for those to bethink themselves , who either out of Prophaneness have neglected , or out of Schism vilified the houses of God ; and if not like this City of Jerusalem killed and stoned , yet disheartned and contemned those who were sent unto them .
