81 As a man being outlawed, may take his pleasure for a while: but whensoever, or1 wheresoever he may be taken, he must yield to that punishment, which by verdict is appointed: so the wicked, on whom sentence of damnation is already passed, may for a while shake off their pains with vain pleasures, but afterward they shall be arrested, and carried violently to the place of woeful execution. But for the godly, (which have the assurance of their inheritance sealed up in their consciences) though they shall be warned in the day of the resurrection, to make their open appearance; yet as honest men of the country shall stand before the Judge, not as felonious offenders.
