13. The eyes of the Judge are like a flame of fire. For as no man can escape, or hide him from the judge or judgement: as he searcheth the secretes of all, neither can there be any thing hid from his sight: so are his eyes terrible and fearful against the ungodly.2 The godly again are by the sight of the lord fulfilled with all pleasure, joy and gladness. Flaming and fiery eyes are attributed also to Christ in the first vision: where you may see more. And the Scripture every where testifieth, that the judge knoweth all things, even the secrets of hearts. Thou doest foolishly therefore, which thinkest thou hast won the field, and to have sinned unpunished, when thou haste escaped the knowledge and judgement of man. There remaineth an other judgement, wherein all the doings of the wicked shall to their utter shame and confusion be revealed before all the world. The sins of the godly are covered, by him through whose benefit they be justified,3 and absolved from pain and crime also.
13. The eyes of the Iudge are like a flame of fire. For as no man can escape, or hide him from the iudge or iudgement: as he searcheth the secretes of all, nother can there be any thing hidde from his sight: so are his eyes terrible and fearefull against the vngodly.2 The godly agayne are by the sight of the lord fulfilled with all pleasure, ioye and gladnes. Flamyng and firie eyes are attributed also to Christ in the first vision: where you maye see more. And the Scripture euery where testifieth, that the iudge knoweth al thinges, euē the secrettes of hartes. Thou doest folishly therfore, whiche thinkest thou hast wonne the felde, and to haue sinned vnpunnisshed, whē thou haste escaped the knowledge and iudgement of man. There remaineth an other iudgemēt, wherin al the doynges of the wicked shal to their vtter shame and cōfusion be reuealed before all the world. The sinnes of the godly are couered, by him through whose benefite thei be iustified,3
