Hence we may note.
1They who love to trouble others, shall be sure to meet with trouble themselves. He that desires to be feared, shall be often afraid. Oppressors and Tyrants in all ages have experimented this truth; which flows both from the nature of their unjust actions towards men, as also from the just retaliation of God.
1They who love to trouble others, shall be sure to meet with trouble themselves. He that desires to be feared, shall be often affrayd.

- 1Qui vult a multis metui. multos tire a oportet.Qui vult a multis metui. multos tirre a oportet.
