6 God dealeth contrary to the course of our common Physicians, which first give one1 medicine, and then if that will not serve, a stronger: but God giveth the strongest first. The argument of judgement is the last that can move us. That argument moveth most in Logic which hath the best reason and most sense: howsoever it seemeth to some, yet sure I am the argument of judgement hath the most sense, or shall have, and may best serve to move all sensual men. There be three things to move even evil disposed men in that great judgement, shame, grief, and fear. Let it move us for shame; and if this will not, let us remember the fear which then shall possess us; if we want this, our state is lamentable, for then neither Prophets, nor Apostles, nor the holy Ghost can tell what to say unto us.
