This vice is so horrible, that God need not sit to judge it; the Devil himself will condemn it: When he reasoned with God about Job, 1he pleads that God had set a Hedge about him, and blessed the work of his hands: And therefore implies, Doth Job serve God for naught? If he will be Unthankful to a God so kind, Satan himself will censure him. It must needs be a horrid sin, that the Devil taxeth and abominates. If we be unthankful, we are sure to be condemned: for if God would not condemn it, the Devil will. An Ungrateful man then (in some sort) is worse then the Devil.

If hee will be Vnthankefull to a God so kind, Satan himsel•e will censure him. It must needes be a horred sinne, that the Diuell taxeth and abominates. If wee be vnthankefull, wee are sure to be condemned: for if God would not condemne it, the Diuell will. An V•grat•full man then (in some sort) is worse then the Diuell.
