The words carry in them a correction of his former complaint, as if he had said, Why do I trouble my self with men, why do I complain of their unkindness or cruelty against me? 1God hath done it; he hath delivered, and turned me over (as a Magistrate doth a Malefactor whom he hath condemned) into the hands of these tormenters, he hath sealed a writ for my execution.
