Now these things are written to let us know, that not only such as offend in lust, as Amnon, in disobedience, as Absalom, in covetousness, as the rich man, in impiety, as Julian, shall be punished even as they were: but that it is undoubtedly true, which Solomon saith, that GOD will bring into judgement, every work with every secret thing, be it good or evil. Wherefore let us learn 1his exhortation, to fear God and keep his commandments, which is the whole duty of man. Which though I have sufficiently declared by examples of the Scriptures, yet as the Apostle used the sentence of the Poet ⟨p. 70⟩Menander, after other sound proofs, so for the youth, that would hear what a Poet saith, I will allege the saying of the prince of Poets. When Turnus had taken the spoil of Pallas he received this threatening; Turn• tempus erit, magno cum optaverit emptu•; Intactum Pallanta, & cum spolia ista diemque2 Oderit— which how truly it fell out, is in another place declared, when being stricken to the heart he heard these words, —Pallas te hoc vulnere, Pallas3 Immolat, & poenam scelerato ex sanguine sumit.
