So therefore are the mouths of profane men stopped, least they should brawl against God as oft as he requireth his judgements, that they agree not to our fleshly judgements. But of this matter more at large strait way, I will entreat. Because every where in the Scriptures examples do occur, that God hath taken vengeance of the whole people, when notwithstanding one man alone hath offended. But if any be murmur, and exempt them selves as innocents, always shall a cause be found, which showeth that God is not cruel toward them, but rather if it please him, he might with just cause handle them more sharply: finally, when as God seemeth, as without cause, to be severe towards man, yet spareth he them, and dealeth with them favourably. Now let us go forward.
So therfore are the mouthes of prophane men stopped, least they shoulde brawle against God as oft as he requyreth his iudgementes, that they agrée not to our fleshlie iudgemēts. But of this matter more at large strayte waye, I wyll entreate. Because euerie where in the Scriptures examples do occurre, that God hath taken vengeaunce of the whole people, when notwithstāding one man alone hath offended. But if any be murmure, and exempt them selues as innocentes, alwayes shall a cause be founde, which sheweth that God is not cruell towarde them, but rather if it please him, he might with iust cause handle them more sharplie: fynallye, when as God séemeth, as without cause, to be seuere towardes man, yet spareth he them, and dealeth with them fauorablie. Nowe let vs goe forwarde.
