Doctr. 2. When a wicked Ruler findeth a burial, and the memory of his wicked Rule is buried with him, It is a vanity. Or himself findeth a Funeral, and his wicked Rule no memorable Obloquy.
Doctr. 2. When a wicked Ruler findeth a buriall, and the memory of his wicked Rule is buried with him, It is a vanity. Or himselfe findeth a Funerall, and his wicked Rule no memorable Obloquie.
When wicked Rulers come to an untimely end, and their Tyranny meeteth with just obloquy, it doth not a little avail, first, to the honour of God, Exod. 14.17. & 15.1. Secondly, to the edification & warning of men. Sennacherib in Herodot. So Virgils Mezentius Discite Justitiam For want of this ⟨p. 182⟩Belshazzar was reproved, Dan. 5.20, &c. But yet it sometimes cometh to pass, they do meet with burial, and no infamy upon their Names, partly by the power of their successors, their children; and partly by a worse succeeding in their room.
