MANS SEED-TIME AND HARVEST: OR, Lex Talionis. › In Proportion,
Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
Think of that lower future place, ye wicked; and the heavy Proportion that must there be measured you. Here you have sown in your Seed-time, there you must reap your harvest. Let the Idolater think of this: he hath thrust God out of his throne, God will thrust him out of his Kingdom. The drunkard that abuseth so •uch wine, must there want a little water. The Usurer shall be there bound faster with the bonds of torment, then he hath formerly bound poor men with his obligations. The Covetous that had no pity, shall not be pitied, cHe shall have judgement without mercy, that hath showed no mercy. The Lustful shall burn with a new fire: The Malicious shall find no further cause of envy. Uaeridentibus; they that laughed, shall now weep; and that as Rachel, for their joys never to be comforted. dHe that soweth iniquity, shall reap vanity.

The Vsurer shall be there bound faster with the bonds of torment, then hee hath formerly bound poore men with his obligations. The Couetous that had no pitie, shall not be pitied, cHee shall haue iudgement without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy. The Lustfull shall burne with a new fire: The Malicious shall finde no further cause of enuie. Uaeridentibus; they that laughed, shall now weepe; and that as Rachel, for their ioyes neuer to bee comforted. dHee that soweth iniquity, shall reape vanity.
