And Adoni-bezek said: 70 kings. This tyrant acknowledgeth the judgement of God, but whether he spake this of true faith or pure repentance, it can not be known by the words of our history. But it is most likely, because he called not upon God, implored not his mercy, neither showed any tokens of true conversion,1 that rather anguish did extort from him this his true saying, than the godly feeling of the mind. We gather hereby that the law of rendering like for like seemeth even to the wicked by the light of nature, just & right, which at the length will they or nill they are compelled to acknowledge the judgements of God. For they have certain principles of that which is right and honest written in their hearts, although they express, not the same in deeds. But even as Paul hath written to the Romans they hold the truth of God after a certain sort captive in unrighteousness, & when they knew the righteousness of God, neither was it hidden from them, that they which do such things are worthy of death, yet for all that they not only do them, but also they consent to them which do them.
And Adoni-bezek said: 70 kings. This tyranne acknowledgeth the iudgement of God, but whether he spake this of true faith or pure repentaunce, it can not be knowen by the wordes of our history. But it is most lykely, bycause he called not vpon God, implored not his mercy, neither shewed any tokens of true conuersion,1 that rather anguish did extorte from him this his true sayeng, than the godly feling of the minde. We gather hereby that the lawe of rendring like for like semeth euen to the wicked by the light of nature, iust & right, which at the length wil they or nill they are compelled to acknowledge the iudgemēts of God. For they haue certein principles of that which is right and honest written in their hartes, although they expresse, not the same in dedes. But euen as Paul hath written to the Romaines they holde the truth of God after a certeine sorte captiue in vnrighteousnesse, & when they knew the righteousnesse of God, neither was it hidden from them, that they whiche do such thinges are worthy of death, yet for all that they not onely do them, but also they consent to them whiche do them.
