Of the destruction of Sodome.

THE foure score and nyntenth yeare of Abrahams age hath GOD for thee abhominable euyll dedes, horrible and vncomly lecheryes, destroied fyue cities: Sodome and Gomorre, and the other cities lyeng therby, burnyng them with fyre from heauen. The place where the cityes were is become a great ma∣rasse, whose length and bredth conteyneth the spa∣ce of certain miles: euen yet at this time as though it were ful of pitche doth burne with cōtinual smoke and vapor for a token of Gods indignacion & ven∣geaunce for so greate synnes. This happened the thre hundreth and fourscore & eleuenth yere after the floude, after that Noe was deade the fourtieth and one. Of thys wyse hath God other whyles wytnessed to the worlde, that he wyll bee auenged and iudge synners.
