Nay, you do God great wrong, he hath said he will do ⟨p. 43⟩and will you presume to step before him and say I will do it my self. But God is fittest to reward and revenge injuries for he is not partial, and he tries the hearts and sees all circumstances, why he hated you, how long, and with what mind he did thus and thus to you, and he also can and will proportion the punishment to the fault, whereas commonly if men might carve to themselves here, they would cut a great deal to deep, or be to sparing the one. But sith God can do it in best time and best measure and manner, and hath said he will do it, what should you do meddling with revenge? unless you will hurt your self, wrong an other and shoulder God out of his place.
