Vers. 25. He stretcheth out his hand against God.
And is it any wonder then that God should stretch out his hand against him? Every sin deserves punishment, and shall be punished either upon the sinner, or upon his Surety; but extraordinary sins call for extraordinary punishments: they who have done much evil, shall endure much. Justice hath an eye to the quantity, as well as to the quality of our works; and that's a work of wickedness in Folio, or of the largest size, which is done with a hand stretched out: What revenge is big enough for a sin thus big?
