Why? Did he not name wild beasts enough before? There was the Lyon, and the Leopard, and the Bear, and 1the Lyon again, and yet he comes over again with wild Beasts; as if he should say, if there by any terror, any dreadfulness in any wild Beasts whatsoever, there is that in my wrath, if you escape one wild beast another shall tear you, and that's the reason that the Bear is added to 2the Lyon and the Leopard, because the Bear runs up a tree so much, which the others do not; and now he comes to all wild Beasts, put them all together and my wrath is as fierce as them. And this is one excellent meditation from hence, That put all the dreadfulness of all 3creatures in the world together, and all that, it is in the wrath of God. As put all the good things that are in all creatures together, all this is in the Love and Mercy of God; so put all things that any way may bring any torments ⟨p. 506⟩or tortor to us, and the quintessence of all this is in Gods wrath, The wild Beasts shall tear them.
