I showed you,1 how the Elders did so give thanks unto God for their salvation, that withal they extolled Gods righteousness, and excellent verity, which he showeth in his judgement most righteous, wherein he rewardeth the godly with just rewards, and plagueth the wicked with deserved punishments. And under this figure of speech they teach us, that both the judgement shall assuredly come, and that the same in all things shall be most holy and just. Would God they would diligently consider these things with themselves ⟨p. 342⟩which judge them to talk of trifles, that make mention of that horrible and most dreadful day of judgement. For we look for things more terrible, than any tongue be it never so eloquent is able to express.

And vnder this figure of speache they teach vs, that both the iudgemēt shall assuredly come, and that the same in al thinges shalbe most holy and iuste. Would God they would dilligently consider these thinges with thēselues ⟨p. 342⟩which iudge them to talke of tryfles, that make mention of that horryble and most dreadfull day of iudgement. For we loke for thinges more terrible, than any toung beit neuer so eloquent is able to expresse.
