sharpe iudgement and punishment. But méekely and gentle∣ly allureth thée vnto himselfe, and draweth thée thereby to hartie and true repentance: and vseth vnto thée first his gen∣tlenesse, to the end, that for his sake againe with like vertue, thou shouldest begin to hate and reforme thy selfe. But thou doest all to the contrary: for thou makest of his gentlenesse towardes thy selfe, an occasion of thine owne damnation: bi∣cause thou wouldest not by gentlenesse and méekenesse, be orderly brought into the right seruice of God.

And to some, which (in their pride and statelinesse) had rather obey to iniustice, than to true rightuousnesse, to lying, vntruth & superstition, than to the truthe and holinesse of Gods commaundements, shall be giuen the reward of indignation, the ire of God, the affliction and tormenting of the deuil, and of a gnawing and damned conscience: which punishment, abideth indifferently
