God never giveth wicked men any just cause to be weary of him.
He never doth them any wrong, and he often gives them many a blessing; and have they any reason to bid him depart? he is usually very patient towards them, and doth never bring any evil upon them till they have doubly deserved it; and have they any reason to be displeased at that? yea whensoever he punisheth them in this world, he punisheth them then ⟨p. 168⟩their sins deserve; indeed there is a punishment behind adequate and commensurate to their sin, but they shall never be punished beyond what or more then their sin deserves. Seeing then their punishment in the next life, though it will be great beyond imagining, yet shall not be great beyond deserving; and all their punishments in this life are less then the demerit of their sin) As was penitentially confessed by Ezra in the name of the Jews after they had been broken by the sword, and brought into captivity for their sin, Chap. 9.13 Seeing (I say) 'tis but thus with them when 'tis worst with them) What hath the Almighty done against them? is not all their destruction (meritoriously) from themselves?
