Latin
13For it is a token of his great goodness, when wicked doers are not suffered any long time, but forthwith punished. 14For not as with other nations, whom wthe Lord patiently forbeareth to punish, xtill they be come to the fulness of their sins, so dealeth he with us, 15lest that, being come to the height of sin, afterwards he should take vengeance of us. 16And therefore he never withdraweth his mercy from us: and ythough he punish with adversity, yet doth he never forsake his people.
