And it shall devour their Palaces

And it shall devour their Palaces.

Brave things they are subject to God's devouring fire, Oh let us as when the Disciples look'd upon the fair buildings of the Temple and wept, says Christ, There shall not be a stone left upon a stone; so when we look upon our brave Palaces, Oh let us consider how quickly the fire of God's wrath may come and not leave a stone upon a stone. Let us look up to that place where Christ is gone to prepare mansions for us, and to that building that is eternal in the Heavens, made without hands. And thus through God's mercy and assistance we have gone through this Eighth Chapter.
