feare theire reproches, rebukes and threates. And GOD shall be come like a moth and rot∣tennesse,* 1.1 to those that beare the name of his peo∣ple, and yet abound in wickednesse. The moath eating,* 1.2 the canker corrupting, the theefe stea∣ling, shoulde cause vs by the consideration there∣of, to alienate our minde from that, which eyther so shortly perisheth, or, so quickly chaungeth his owner, and therefore can tarry with vs we know not how little while. Those that let their clothes lye by them, till they be moath-eaten, seeing eue∣ry day a number of naked soules to want them,* 1.3 shall haue their own moath-eaten garmentes to be a witnesse against them, to their condemnati∣on at the day of iudgement.
