Proverbs26:10
Verſ. 10. The great God that formed all things] As he made all, ſo hee maintains all; even the evil, and the unthankful. God deals not as that cruel Duke of Alva did in the Netherlands, Grimſton. ſome he roſted to death (ſaith the Hiſtorian) ſtarved others, and that even after quarter, ſaying, Though hee promiſed to give them their lives, he did not promiſe to find them meat. But as hee hath given them their lives (forfeited in Adam) ſo hee allows them a livelihood, gives them their portion in this life, fills their bellies with his good treaſure, but withall ſends leanneſſe into their ſouls: or if he fat them, it is to fit them for deſtruction, as fated ware is fitted for the ſhambles.
