The greatness of Gods kindness to us, we strive to match with our unkindness to God. He that in his own person stood for our defence, and bore the heat and burden of the day for us, hath this requital, to have his cause put off to others. We dare not stand for his glory. Could we else brook his holy days profaned, holy name abused, holy Church despised, his •e••ants impoverished; if we were as kind to him, as he is to us?
The greatnesse of Gods kindnesse to vs, we striue to match with our vnkindnesse to God.

Could we else brooke his holy dayes profaned, holy name abused, holy Church despised, his •e••ants impouerished; if we were as kind to him, as he is to vs?

The poor man to the Rich, and says he should look to these disorders: the Rich man to the Minister: the Minister after a hearty dehortation to the Magistrate. But still wickedness holds up the head, and the heat of rebellion is not qualified.
