Profiting by the Disasters of Others
Hebrews 3:17-19
But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?…


Oh, that we could make that use of their disaster that Walden, the French merchant (father and founder of the Waldenses), did of that sad sight that befell him. For walking in the streets, and seeing one fall suddenly dead, he went home and repented of his Popish errors and profane courses.

(J. Trapp.)
