AS every one is more wise and godly, so shall he have more true praise and honour: Sometimes, and very often the wicked shall commend him, commonly the righteous, and always the Lord himself, but most of all at the last day, before all men, and Angels, as our Saviour telleth us in the five and twentieth of Matthew. Contrariwise the froward in heart, such whose hearts reject all good instructions, and graces, shall be despised, and brought to contempt among men in this life, or their faults break out after they are dead, or be manifested before all the world at the day of the Lord. This is the opposition: He that is upright of heart shall be commended for his wisdom: but he that is froward of heart, shall be despised for his folly.
