Of such manner Christ our Saviour will talk with the1 ungodly, and in the end send them to everlasting damnati on. And this shall be an heavy burden for them: and though they can cloak and hide their since in this world, yet for all that god will open their wickedness and filthy […] at that […]: where all the world shall know it, and where they shall ⟨image 141⟩not be able to hide themselves or their since.
