Whereas on the other side, if to please men you shall displease God, shrinking and swar•ing from the rules that he hath prescribed you, and for fear of mans face deal unfaithfully, in the execution of that office that he hath imposed upon you: *by stepping aside to shun danger, you shall but plunge your selves into greater danger. As the Proverb hath it: dHe that fears the frost shall be overwhelmed with the snow. eWhile you •eare the frost of mans anger that lieth under your feet and might easily be overcome; you shall be overwhelmed with the snow of the divine vengeance, that descendeth from heaven and cannot therefore be avoided. fWhile you fly the smoke of mans displeasure, you shall fall into the 1flaming fire of Gods wrath, that burneth even to the bottom of hell.
