BY evil is meant the punishment of sin which is resembled to the ravenous, strong, and swift kind of creatures, & wicked men to them that are weaker, and flower, and so chased by them, and made their pray. Now as affliction and misery will in this manner come upon the ungodly as the wages of their rebellion, so blessings and comfort shall come to the godly as a recompense of their obedience.

Sinful men live in perpetual peril of destruction all the days Doct. 1 of their life before they perish.

Their danger foregoeth the misery and mischief which at last falleth upon them, as the hare runneth in hazard and jeopardy before the greyhound cometh at her, and snatcheth her up. And yet the hare doth often outrun the greyhound, or getteth to covert, whereas the wicked can never avoid Gods judgements, unless they avoid their sinfulness. For so doth the lord1 threaten in the law saying. All these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, & overtake thee, till thou be destroyed, because thou obeyedst not the voice of the Lord, thy God.
