You see here another circumstance, They say unto me. They are so impudent, that they are not afraid to reproach him to his face, they say to him, as if they would stand to their reproach. This is one circumstance of aggravation: indeed malice is very impudent, when it is come to the extremity, I only observe it, that if we meet with such insolencie of malice, not to be discouraged, it hath bin thus before, and thus it will be to the end of the world.

Day by day, their malice is fed with a spring, with a malicious heart. A malicious heart, and a slanderous tongue alway go well together. The Devil that was the first grand slanderer, hath communion with a malicious heart, ⟨p. 223⟩and he foments malice, and cherisheth that malicious poysonfull disposition: and a malicious disposition, never wants malicious words.

They say to me, daily, these are but circumstances, but yet they are somewhat considerable: for they tend to the aggravation of the disconsolate estate of this holy man; that he should meet with such wretched men, that had no pity at all on him, but say to him daily, Where is now thy God?
