First, he seeth and confesseth that the Lord (for ought he knows) will proceed in Justice against him, and execute upon him those Plagues that God hath threatened, and his Sins have deserved; ⟨p. 27⟩he seeth that Justice is not yet satisfied, and those reckonings between God and him are not yet made up, and therefore he cannot apprehend, but that God will take vengeance on him: What else? when he hath done all he can, he is unprofitable still; Justice remains unsatisfied, and saith, Thou hast sinned, and I am wronged, and therefore thou shalt dye.
First, he seeth and confesseth that the Lord (for ought he knows) will proceed in Justice against him, and execute upon him those Plagues that God hath threatned, and his Sins have deserved; ⟨p. 27⟩he seeth that Justice is not yet satisfied, and those reckonings between God and him are not yet made up, and therefore he cannot apprehend, but that God will take vengeance on him: What else? when he hath done all he can, he is unprofitable still; Justice remains unsatisfied, and saith, Thou hast sinned, and I am wronged, and therefore thou shalt dye.
