In the four first Chapters he rehearseth the benefits of GOD done unto them, to provoke them to love, & 1his mighty deeds done above all natural capacity of faith, that they might believe GOD, and trust in him, and in ⟨p. 22⟩his strength. And thirdly he rehearseth the fierce plagues of God upon his enemies, and on them which through impatience & unbelief fell from him: partly to tame and abate the appetites of the flesh which alway fight against the spirit, and partly to bridle the wild raging lusts of them in whom was no spirit: that though they had 2no power to do good of love, yet at the lest way, they should abstain from outward evil for fear of wrath, and cruel vengeance which should fall upon them and shortly find them out, if they cast up gods nurture, and run at riot beyond his laws and ordinances.3
