¶ And his hurt or afflictions often make many wicked men Doct. 2 the worse. That cursed Cain may be produced for an example hereof, who being convicted of the Lord himself of that cruel and unnatural murder, did no way submit or humble himself unto him, nor craved favour at his hands, but only excepted against the severity of the sentence, that his punishment 1was greater then he could bear. And what a wholesome conclusion made that impious miscreant in the book of kings, when in that extreme famine, he said: Behold, this evil cometh of the Lord: shall I attend on the Lord any longer? And no better is the behaviour of those Romish, Antichristian idolaters, whom the spirit foretold of in the Revelation of S. John, that the Angel pouring out his vial upon the throne of the beast, and his kingdom waxing dark; they gnawed their tongues for sorrow, and blasphemed the God of heaven for their pains, and for their sores, and repented not of their works, to give him glory.
