But in the day of Gods visitation mens own ways will come upon Obs. 2 them; that's the second Note. I will visit their ways upon them. Men may have shifts to put off God for a while, but when God shall visit, then they shall see that all the evil that is come upon them it is from their own ways; And that will be the very torment of the damned in Hell, that they shall clearly see that all the evil that is upon them it is but their own ways.1 As it is reported of some birds that lime is made out of their dung by which they are taken, so out of the dung of mens sins doth God make his lime-twigs to take them withal, that is, the judgment that comes upon them it is no other but ⟨p. 120⟩their own ways, they have procured this unto themselves.
