Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
Wicked men will not know till they feel;1 when they are struck, then they will know. The best knowledge of Gods displeasure it is from the causes, but if men will not know from thence, they shall know from the effects. In their prosperity they had many false Prophets that soothed them up, so, that they were kept from knowledge, but now when they had felt Gods stroke, then they should know; but he doth not tell you what you should know. They should know these things.
