A plain and familiar exposition of the eleventh and twelfth chapters of the Proverbs…A plaine and familiar exposition of the eleuenth and twelfth chapters of the Prouerbes…

Reasons. First, they shall then stand before the judgement seat of God ⟨p. 21⟩himself, and that which he speaketh they must hear, and that which they hear, they must see, and that which they hear and see, they must also suffer: for execution will accompany the sentence. Here they would not believe his testimony, that their case was so bad as his word declared: there they shall feel it to be worse then they could conceive of. Here when he denounced plagues against their sins, they proclaimed peace to their souls; there they shall find the plagues according to their sins, and fail of the peace which they promised to themselves. Here he spake unto them in goodness, that upon their repentance they might obtain everlasting mercy: there he will ¹speak unto them in anger, and for want of repentance will punish them eternally with justice.

Reasons. First, they shall then stand before the iudgement seate of God ⟨p. 21⟩himselfe, and that which hee speaketh they must heare, and that which they heare, they must see, and that which they heare and see, they must also suffer: for execution will accompanie the sentence. Heere they would not beleeue his testimonie, that their case was so bad as his word declared: there they shall feele it to bee worse then they could conceiue of. Heere when hee denounced plagues against their sinnes, they proclaimed peace to their soules; there they shall finde the plagues according to their sinnes, and faile of the peace which they promised to themselues. Here he spake vnto them in goodnes, that vpon their repentance they might obtaine euerlasting mercie: there hee will ¹speake vnto them in anger, and for want of repentance will punish them eternally with iustice.
