5 Rewards and punishments. 1He that at all times and in all places adorneth virtue with rewards, and draweth the wicked to punishment, he must needs rule all mankind by his providence. But God yieldeth more pleasant successes and events to the good, which live with moderation, and soberly, even to those that are without the Church, and punisheth heinous offences with grievous punishments in this life: yea when men wink at them: Therefore GOD ruleth and judgeth the whole world by his providence. Psalm. 58.10. The righteous shall rejoice, when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked; And men shall say, verily, there is fruit for the righteous, doubtless there is a God that judgeth in the earth.
