Then pretences shall not secure, or good intentions, excuse; but the offenders shall suddenly be smitten, and the innocent righted, beyond the worlds expectation. And now (Beloued) was Vzzah the last man that ever was pragmaticall? or this the first exemplary stroke that ever was inflicted vpon medlers in sacred mysteries, beyond their commission? Nadab and Abihu might haue beene an ensample to him, as he should bee to vs; that Gods anger may bee as quick to strike, as our presumption is peremptory to provoke. Should this poore mans good intention haue so heauie a doome, and our impudent intruding be alwaies borne withall? Shall simple errour dye in the place before the Arke; and malice surviue, perchance to doe more mischiefe? Perez-Vzzah, Vzzah's Breach, should bee a warning-peece to vs all for circumspection in our carriages, humility in our proceedings; feare to intermeddle in cases reserued to our Superiours, and God's owne privy Counsell; lest his angry stroke prevent all parlye; & a breach be made, which shall never bee repaired. I end. |
Then pretences shall not secure, or good intentions, excuse; but the offenders shall suddenly be smitten, and the innocent righted, beyond the world's expectation. And now (beloved) was Uzzah the last man that ever was pragmatical? or this the First exemplary stroke that ever was inflicted upon meddlers in sacred Mysteres, beyond their commission? Nadab and Abihu might have been an ensample to him, as he should be to us; that God's anger may be as quick to strike, as our presumption is peremptory to provoke. Should this poor men good intention have so heavy a doom, and our impudent intruding be always born withal? Shall simple error die in the place before the Ark; and malice survive, perchance to do more mischief? Perez-Vzzah, Uzzah's Breach, should be a warning-piece to us all for circumspection in our carriages, humility in our proceedings; Fear to intermeddle in cases reserved to our Superiors, and God's own privy Counsel; lest his angry stroke prevent all parlye; & a breach be made, which shall never be repaired.
