Hence we may note, That we had need to pray much for Princes. Fearful are the examples which historians report of, concerning the judgments of God upon wicked Princes.

Leander in the description of Italy reports of a cruel Tyrant, who persuaded himself that he must give an account to no man, none could call him to an account for what he did; at last God gave him into the hands of the people, who stripped him naked, bound him upon a plank, and drew him through the streets in the sight of all the people, then made a great fire by him, and heated tongs red hot in the fire, when they had done thus, then proclamation was made in the Market place, that seeing he had wronged so many, that he was never able to make satisfaction for the wrong he had done, therefore all that had suffered by him should come and have a pull at his flesh with the red hot tongs.

Another fearful example we have of latter times, concerning Charles the 9th, about the massacre in France, who at that time pretended great love and kindness to the Protestant party, invited them to a great marriage feast, and at that time by his Commission, calls in those bloody miscreants, who cruelly murdered the Protestant party; there he broke bounds: but see how God met with him, in a most grievous disease, through the violence of which there spurted out blood from him in several parts of his body, so that he wallowed in his blood before he died. God poured out His wrath upon them in blood who in their life time thirsted after blood.
