It pleaseth God many times to let his Prophets see the fulfilling of their threatenings upon the people against whom they have denounced them.1 Perhaps they go away, and scorn, and contemn the Prophets, and their words are but wind with them, but God many times lets his Ministers live to see their words fulfilled upon them. For particular persons, when they are cast upon their beds of sickness or death, it is then ordinary for them to say, Oh the word of the Lord is true that I heard at such a time, it is now come upon me. So God dealt with the people in Jeremies time, they laughed and contemned him, but Jeremiah lives to see the fulfilling of ⟨p. 11⟩those threatenings at last. And if they live not to see the fulfilling of their words, yet presently after their death they are fulfilled, as it was at Hippo, where Austin threatened judgements against them, they were not executed in his time, but presently after he was taken away, they came.
