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 therfore it cannot be chosen, but that God him selfe must arise to execute iustice vpon them, seeing that none els wil, or can doe it: And hee must needes cause them make a publick amends, for all the horrible and grieuous offences, which they haue heretofore committed, and stil dayly doe.
Toby. To say truly, he handleth them very roughly, when he once beginneth to lay his hand on them.
