Knox was of another judgement; for he ever said, That their corrupt life, having fallen into all kind of licentiousness,1 puffed up with pride of their success, and relying upon England for help in case of need, could not escape the punishment of God; and that was his continual advertisement, from the time that he was called to Preach.
