11 As a man being out lawed, may take his pleasure for a while, but whatsoever and wheresoever he may be taken, he must yield to the punishment which by verdict he is ⟨p. 798⟩appointed: so the wicked on whom sentence of damnation is already passed, may for a while shake off their pain with vain pleasure, but afterward they shall be arrested, and carried violently to the place of woeful execution. But for the godly unto whose conscience,1 the assurance of their inheritance of heaven, by the evidence of the Gospel and •eale of the Spirit is ratified, all the devils in hell shall not prevail against them, but in death they shall be warned to make their open appearance in the day of the resurrection, yet as honest and before the Judge, and not as felonious offenders.
