The story speaks of Francis Spira, that to please men to save an estate, he defiled his garments, and he presently fell into rebuke of himself, and lived under the rebuke of his conscience a long time.
Job 8. 15. v. speaking of the Hypocrite, his hope shall be cut off, the word signifies to loath, so some translate, his hope shall be a loathing to him, he shall loath his hope. There is twofold loathing: First, a loathing to repentance, that is, a gracious loathing, a loathing our selves for our sins against God. And there is a loathing of despair, and that is the loathing there meant: the Hypocrite shall loath his own hope, that is, he shall loath it despairingly. 'Tis an affliction to be loathed by men, but 'tis a dreadful judgement, to be loathed of our selves despairingly; this is the suburbs of hell, for this will be the portion of the damned for ever, for their vanity, for for their madness, 'tis next to the Regions of hell, for their worm dyeth not; and that is the worm of conscience: Oh therefore take heed, conscience may be silent, yea, it may flatter for a time, but when conscience is provoked, it will speak, yea thunder.
