(186) Divine Justice offended is and Satisfaction claimeth: God's wrathful ire kindled like fire, against them fiercely flameth. Their Judge severe doth quite cashier and all their Pleas off take,1 That never a man, or dare, or can a further Answer make.
(187) Their mouths are shut,1 each man is put to silence and to shame: Nor have they ought within their thought, Christ's Justice for to blame. The Judge is just, and plague them must. nor will he mercy show For Mercies day is past away) to any of this Crew.
