When sins are at the heighth, then comes destruction. [ 811]
A Fisher-man,* 1.1 when in a clear water he seeth a fish come to his hook, nible at
the bait, bite it, and swallow it down, then he giveth a jerk with his angle∣rod,
and striketh him. So Almighty God oft-times, permits wicked purposes and en∣terprises
to hold on, till they come to a streight line, till they are upon the very
height; and then he turns, and overturns them. In fori••as ••••ydram, he breaks the
pitcher at the door, cutteth down the ear of corn when it is ••ull, launceth the
sore when it is ripe. When the sins of the Amorites are full, then comes judg∣ment;
when the sins of a People or Nation are at the height, then comes de∣struction.
