1He returneth now to the description of the judgements of God, from the which he had made a little digression. This treatise hath much fruit. For the judgements of God, be the punishments or pains of the wicked, the testimonies of Gods righteousness and verity. Again the godly are herewith confirmed in their hope. For they see that one Jot doeth not fall from the words and threatenings of God, although he be of long suffering, winketh at them long, and even seemeth to favour and to spare the ungodly. The godly therefore perceive that their hope is not vain. They learn also to fear God, and to pray continually, leest being drunken with the pleasures and felicities of this world, they revolt from God to ungodliness. Finally the wicked are feared with pains, are provoked to repentance which whilst they refuse, they feel undoubtedly plagues, as Pharaoh felt.
