[ 288] A wicked man believes not there is a Hell till he be in it.
TOstatus observeth out of Pliny,* 1.1 that the Mole, after he hath long lived under
ground, beginneth to see when he dyeth, oculos incipit aperire moriendo, quos clau∣sos
habuit vivendo, he beginneth to open his eyes in dying, which he alwaies had shut
whilst he lived: This is the true State of a wicked earthly-minded man, he neither
seeth Heaven, nor thinketh of Hell: tell him that the wicked shall be turned into hell,
and all that forget God,* 1.2 it is but as brutum fulmen, a meer scare-crow, he feareth not
God nor man all his life-time, till he approacheth to judgement, and then too soon he
beginneth to feel that which he could not be brought to believe.
