Examples hereof are plentiful in the 1word of God, for the sin of Zimrie with Cozby God sent a grievous plague 2amongst the people, but after Phinehas ⟨p. 20⟩had executed justice by slaying both the offenders the plague ceased. For the sin of Achan God took away the hearts from the people, so that they fled and 3some of them fell before the men of Ai, but when the malefactor was justly punished, Gods anger was appeased. 4Because the Beniamites did not punish but rather countenance the sin of those who so shamelessly did abuse the Levites concubine, we know what followed, not only the offenders but also the whole tribe (some few excepted) were attached by Gods heavy judgement. If therefore Magistrates would have the Lords anger averted either from themselves, or the commonwealth, they are to show their anger in punishing sin: and if in drawing out the sword of Justice against iniquity, they propound unto themselves the good of the Church and common-wealth, their end is just and holy, and their anger also.
