1 Corinthians 10:5

But with many of them God was not well pleased; these many were no less than that whole generation, which were at that time twenty years old and upward, according to the threatening, Numbers 14:28,29; of the acccomplishment of which we read, Numbers 26:64,65. For they were over thrown in the wilderness; as an instance of God's being displeased with them, he giveth their falling in the wilderness. It is very possible, that many of these were the objects of God's eternal and special love, and eternally saved, notwithstanding their joining with worse men in their rebellion and murmuring; but that signal judgment of God upon them was enough to prove, that their being baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and being made partakers of those great privileges of eating spiritual meat, and drinking spiritual drink, typifying Christ, did not set them out of the danger of God's judgments, which is the use the apostle maketh of it.
