You Alehouse-keepers, and Alehouse-haunters, God is there and sees […] if God correct those that live soberly, •ha• will become ⟨p. 68⟩of thee that livest like a swine? God speaks thus into thee, oh thou drunkard, and thou adulterer, thou hast done this▪ I will se• them in order before thee, and then the Lord will tear thee in pieces. You must not think to despise God and his servants, and go away so; no, no, consider this lest he tear you in pie••s, and there be none to deliver you; God hath rods for his own, but Scorpions for the wicked; if God correct his servants that thrive under the means, what will become of those that despise the means? if a follower be scourged, an enemy shall be condemned.
