Toby. This is a fearful example of Gods heavy vengeance,1 especially upon so noble a personage.2 For, if God spare not kings and Princes, we are not to look that he will spare any others whatsoever.

Theo. It is so far off, that he spareth great kings, and mighty potentates, because they are of great magnificence, as that he punisheth them with more grievous, notable and fearful tortures, then any of all the rest of his people. For, by how much the more he hath made them great and excellent, by so much the more are they unthankful unto his majesty, when as they abuse his graces. And again, there are no enemies of God, which more dishonour ⟨image 114⟩him, & do greater hurt unto all men, by their evil examples, and less punished by men, then they which are in the greatest authority. And therefore it cannot be chosen, but that God him self must arise to execute justice upon them, seeing that none else will, or can do it: And he must needs cause them make a public amends, for all the horrible and grievous offences, which they have heretofore committed, and still daily do.
