Theophilus. I doubt not. But let us see how y• •el increaseth day by day. If the malefactor be already so much tormented before that the Judge hath laid his hands upon him, before that he be put in prison, before that he hath ben on the rack, vanquished, judged and condemned: Let us think what torment he ought to have, being in prison, after that his process is made and concluded, looking & tarrying for his sentence & cruel death every hour.
