1It is spoken abundantly, how great calamity shall come unto the world of the locusts and horses under the fifth and sixth trumpet: & where it is sufficiently known, that all are not subject to the locusts and horses, neither to be punished of them, which nevertheless commit things also worthy of punishment, some man might marvel, whether these being free and exempted from these plagues, may safely lead an impenitent life? he preventeth and sayeth, and the residue ⟨p. 277⟩of men, which also commit shameful things against God, and yet are not slain with these plagues set forth, may not think to escape unpunished. For even they shall be punished also of God most just. For the speech is defective, and therefore to be made up, both by the tenure hereof, and also by the catholic sense of the whole Scripture, which is that all impenitent persons are punished of God: & that so much more grievously, the more carelessly that they have abused gods longanimity, being nothing moved with any examples of Gods judgements. Yet sayeth he not this by express words. It was enough for him to rehearse the wickedness, wherein they were drowned. For hereof may every man gather, what is dew to such offenders. Aretas a Greek expositor, expounding this place. This speech sayeth he, showeth an excellency of insensibility, that is of the wantonness and lasciviousness of them, which have spent the time granted them of God to repent in, about vanity, that even for the worthiness of their slothfulness they might receive their reward: yea even before the eyes of the ungodly the very reward is put in effect: yet these men not only by the sight of these terrible things, which they had present before their eyes, were made never a whit better, but also worse, & more and more wrapped in sin, have fulfilled their course, &c. Thus far he.
