These fears cannot be stricken into any without some intelligent and understanding nature, which beholdeth and respecteth all humane affairs, especially seeing the wicked cannot escape: Therefore there is some revenger of sins and wickedness, who is God, and who inflicteth those horrors,2 and also who knoweth and regardeth all things, even the secrets of men: The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men. And Juvenal writing unto a friend of his, some way to comfort him for the loss which he had suffered by trusting too much a cozening and perjured Merchant: Why, saith he, dost thou think such fellows to have escaped, whose mind, being conscious and guilty of the deed, possesseth them with astonishment? &c.
