But here some may object, Is this the portion of wicked men? Doth a dreadful sound in their ears afflict their hearts? Have not many such, much peace? and do they not either smile or wonder to heart others complaining of an afflicted spirit, and beg prayers for the appeasing of their troubled conscience? which are matters they have no acquaintance with, nor knowledge of.
But here some may object, Is this the portion of wicked men? Doth a dreadful sound in their eares afflict their hearts? Have not many such, much peace? and doe they not either smile or wonder to heart others complaining of an afflicted spirit, and beg prayers for the appeasing of their troubled conscience? which are matters they have no acquaintance with, nor knowledge of.
I answer,
First, We are not to understand the proposition, as if all wicked men have, or that any wicked man at all times, hath this dreadful sound in his ear; but thus it is very often, and thus it may be always: thus it is with many, and thus it may be with all wicked men. A wicked man hath (as we say) no fence for it, no privilege nor promise to secure him from it.
