Nevertheless of that, that a sinner doeth evil an hundred times, and is suffered by patience, I knew that good it shall be to men dreading God, that reverence his face, or presence .

Time and season is to each work; and much torment is of a man

It is not in the power of man to forbid the spirit, that is, his soul, from going out from the body , neither he hath power in the day of death, neither he is suffered to have rest, when the battle nigheth; neither wickedness shall save a wicked man.

Also another vanity there is, that is done on earth. Just [or rightwise] men there be, to whom evils come, as if they did the works of wicked men; and wicked men there be, that be as secure, as if they had done the deeds of just [or rightwise] men; but I deem also this most vain.

for he knoweth not [the] things passed, and he may not know by any messenger [the] things to come.
