The fifth Aphorisme.
Yet a man can never speak so fitly of these things, but that man his reason will prattle against it, yea, and also will call the Lord him self as the chief Author of all, into accounts for it. But albeit the Devil chafe, and all the wicked kick against the prick, (1) yet their own conscience shall reprove them, and ⟨image 85⟩condemn them: (2) But our mind being strengthened with the mercy of God• shall acquit us in that day of Christ, t• whom with the Father and the hol• ghost, be given glory, praise and honour for ever. Amen.
