Y•• he doth not strike at every provocation of the wicked.

He […] sin in the Book of eternity, before sinners hearts do conceive it: he sees it in the•• breasts, before their hands do commit it. He sees the conception, birth, and comm••• meant of it: but then he sees it to purpose, when being in the mature ripeness be •• ceth it. Jer. 2.24.
