An oversight, and deliberation upon the holy prophet JonahAn ouersight, and deliberacion vpon the holy prophete Ionas

Well we may think to escape the danger of GOD though we neglect our duty and vocation, but truly it can not be so. Whither sayeth Dauyd should I go from thy spirit, and whither should I flee from thy face? Psal. cxxxix. There is no corner of the world where in man may hide him self from the knowledge and punishment of God, if we neglect the works of our vocation. He hath all things in his hand, heaven, earth, the winds, and the waters, with the which he ⟨p. xviii⟩useth to punish the wickedness of transgressors withal at his pleasure, when he will, as it is to be seen. Samu. i.

Well we maye thyncke to escape the daunger of GOD though we neglect oure dewty and vocacion, but truely it can not be so. Whither sayeth Dauyd shoulde I go from thy spirite, and whither shoulde I fle frō thy face? Psal. cxxxix. Ther is no corner of the world wher in man maye hyde hym selfe from the knowlege and punishment of God, if we neglect the worckes of oure vocacion. He hath all thynges in hys hand, heauen, earth, the wyndes, and the waters, with the whiche he ⟨p. xviii⟩vseth to punyshe the wyckednes of transgressours wythall at his pleasure, when he wil, as it is to be seen. Samu. i.

Of this place of the text, we learn that whosoever contrary to God's commandment, studieth to avoid one evil, falleth into many. The bishop or the preacher that for the love or fear of the world letteth to speak the trueth, falleth into the burning and damnation of his own conscience. The people that against God's law would defend the poverty of their bodies, lost body, soul, wife, children and all together. The corrupt Judge in searching to serve his own turn or his frenfrends ⟨image 28⟩
