From: A WARNING TO APOSTATES - "Remember Lot's wife." LUKE xvii. 32
...who for her looking back to a worldly interest was turned into a pillar of salt. And if you ask, Why into a pillar of salt? That by her example she might season others; that by her example, all of us might be warned to take heed of looking back to any worldly interest. But I think also by her looking back, she in some measure complied and comported with the men of Sodom, as they were smitten with brimstone, fire and salt. Deut. 29:23. And the whole land thereof became brimstone and salt. So she, complying with them, and returning in her heart and affections to them, partaking with them in their sin, doth partake with them also in their judgment, and so was turned into salt. Rev. 18:4
If you would not look back in declining times, be sure of this, that you do not run a share or a part in the vessel that God is about to destroy. Where my grief is, there is my finger; where my love is, there is my eye. If I have a share and a part in the vessel that God is about to destroy, I shall look after the vessel, what becomes thereof. Why now, Babylon, that art to be destroyed, Babylon is not to repent; Babylon that art to be destroyed, Babylon is not to be reformed. Wash dirt an hundred times, and you cannot make clean the dirt; Babylon is not to be reformed, but to be destroyed. Take heed therefore of running a part or a share in the boat or vessel that God hath laid out for destruction ; for if you have a part and a share there, you will look back.
William Bridge, M.A. [1600?-1674]
