According to that which the Apostle saith to the Thessalonians, When men cry peace, peace, then cometh sudden destruction 1upon them, even as the sorrow of a woman at her travel. Chorah and his company, Benadad with many other are examples hereof. So that there is no heed to be taken how jocund they be, when they be aloft, or have their hearts desire, neither need any to be afraid at the beholding of their greatness, for why even while it abideth, it is departing, and while it standeth, it is 2in falling, for when they be at their best and greatest, there is a greater then they, who is working their overthrow. But who is warned by others woe? But of this briefly, because often.
