6 There are places in the Scripture, where the Lord is a comforter, and there are places,1 wherein he is an accuser: the places where he is a comforter show such persons or such times, wherein the Lord by his accusations hath so far prevailed, that the people were humbled thereby. The places wherein he is an accuser, import such times and persons, to whom the Lord hath showed many comforts and benefits, but they have been unthankful, as are we in our times in our Realm, and in this place. For it hath been the wisdom of the Lord always after his threatenings taking place to remember mercy, and after his mercies contemned to send out his threatenings, as Hose. 4. 1.
