Wherefore, whosoever have followed the cruelty of the Edon•tes against the Israel of GOD, let them remember for their instruction, that they shall be partakers of the same punishment with the Edomites. And let us consider, that if the wicked draw his bow to shoot at the poor and needy, though they whet the sword to slay the innocent, yet their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bow shall be broken, which the Prophet ⟨p. 56⟩threateneth not without exception, namely if the 1wicked turn not, then the Lord will whe• his sword, &c. And whereas he trav•led to bring forth a lie, his mischief shall light on his own head and the wrong which he imagined against others, shall fall down on his own •lpe.
