to
Chew
the excellency
of
a
quiet
Confcience and peace
with the
Creatures.
But
I
muff

touch
it
here
:
God
is
Lord or
Holes,
and
all
the creatures
ftand armed
ready to
avenge
Gods quarrel,and
not only
do
they
ftand
in
rea-
dinefs,but
ihtre
is a
kind
of
cry
in
the creatures
to God
to make
theme
the Executioners
of
his
wrath
;
Shall
I go
and
ftrike
this
Drunkard fay.s

He

upon

gracious
way
