Then shall they that despised the word of God, know what they despised: and the blasphemers shall reap the fruit of their blasphemy. Then the careless Shepherd which hath not fed the Lords sheep, but neglected them, and left them at all adventures: which hath betrayed his flock, and given them to be a pray unto the Woolf: shall receive a just reward for his treason. Then the adulterer, oppressor, and Usurer, shall have their ⟨p. 176⟩life laid open before them. Then shall every eye see him. They shall see him, whom they 1pierced through: they shall see his wounds, which they did not regard. They shall see his Sword ready drawn to slay all his enemies and shall fall down for fear of him that sitteth upon the throne, and of the Lamb.

But the harts of the righteous shall rejoice. They shall lift up their heads, and see him in whom they have trusted. Then they shall say, this is the day which the Lord hath made, let us rejoice and be glad in it. Come, let us rejoice unto the Lord: let us come before his face with praise: let us sing loud unto him with Psalms. Such shall be the state and countenance, and honour, and majesty of our God, when he shall come down from heaven for our deliverance.
