Nay, thou hatest him, do you not wish that 1there were no such Lord to come to judgement, that thou mightest live as thou pleasest? Couldest thou not wish that thou mightest ever here enjoy these pleasures, and never come at him? Now to wish that one were not, what is it but to hate him? Quem metuunt oderunt: We say men hate him whom they stand in fear of. Do you then fear and quake at his coming? surely then you are haters of God.
