HE that is of a froward heart) which setteth his heart upon lewdness and evil, and declineth every day, waxing worse and worse, shall be satiate with his own ways, even sated and filled full with the plagues and judgements, which his own deserts shall draw upon him. And a good man with that which is in him, shall abundantly enjoy both inward comforts and outward happiness, for his constant uprightness, and holy behaviour.
HE that is of a froward heart) which setteth his heart vppon lewdnes and euill, and declineth euery day, waxing worse and worse, shal be satiate with his owne waies, euen sated and filled full with the plagues and iudgements, which his own deserts shal draw vpon him. And a good man with that which is in him, shall abundantly inioy both inward comforts and outward happines, for his constant vprightnesse, and holy behauiour.
Every man both good and bad shall feel himself sufficiently Doct. recompensed for his service.
Euery man both good and bad shall feele himselfe sufficiently Doct. recompenced for his seruice.
They that serve the flesh, and increase their labours to fulfil the lusts thereof, shall at length receive their pay, and have more wages than ever they looked for, or wished for. And they that seek the Lord, and show themselves diligent in doing his will, shall in the end be fully requited, and their will far exceed their hope. Both shall reap the crop which they have sown, & neither of their seed shall fail of growth, or ripening. See the same point in effect prosecuted in the eleventh chapter, v. 18. where he saith, that the wicked worketh a deceitful work: but he that seweth righteousness shall receive a sure reward.
