The brute beasts shall never be called to any account. ^tThere is no judgment for them that have no judgment themselves. But ^sit is appointed for all men, and among the rest then for great men, that once they must dye, and after that cometh judgement, which they must also come unto among others. ^uThe Rich mans case in the Gospel, while he lived clad in purple, showeth great men what after death must become of them, which way they must go when they dye, if they abuse their power while they live, if they be not ^xas well good as great. And as our Saviour saith of Judas; ^yIt had bin much better for him had he never bin borne: so may we well say of such, It had bin much better for them, if they had never at all bin; or if they could utterly cease to be.
