Thus these and other godly relations will rise up in judgment, and witness against the wicked.
2. The ungodly friends and companions of the wicked will at •hat day be their accusers and witness against them; especially those who have been drawn by them into sin; however now they are very well pleased with them, and delight in their company, because sin pleaseth them, and they do not feel nor believe the bitterness which will be consequent: yet when they come to be judged, and punished for those sins, they will with rage and madness accuse and curse those wicked Persons which were their first tempters: Drunkards will accuse those that drew them first into Taverns and Alehouses, and persuaded them by healths, and other ways to drink beyond their measure: Adulterers and Adulteresses will accuse those which first enticed them unto privy lewdness: ungodly servants also will then accuse their wicked Masters, and ungodly children their wicked Parents, who have been drawn into sin by their example. Thus men will be accusers and witnesses against the wicked.
