es, but my conscience and thy hand. tries1 Emblems. i 8 i I know thy justice is thyself; 1 know,Just GrOD, thy very self is mercy too;If not to thee, where, whither shall I go1 Then work thy will: if passion bid me flee,My reason shall obey; my wings shall beStretchd out w farther than from thee to thee. S. August, in Psal. xxxiii. Whither fly I ? to what place can I safely fly ? to whatmountain ? to what den ? to what strong house ? what castleshall I hold 1 what walls shall hold me ? whithersoever I go,myself followeth me : For whatsoever thou fliest, O man,thou mayest, but thy own conscience: wheresoever, O LORD,I go, I find thee; if angry, a revenger; if appeased, aredeemer: what way have I, but to fly from thee to thee?that thou mayest avoid thy God, address to thy Lord. EfIG. 12. Hath vengeance found thee? can thy fears commandNo rocks to shield thee from her thundring hand ?Knowst thou not where to scape? Ill tell thee where:My soul, make clean thy conscience ; hide thee there.
