all men for his villainy, he retired into Normandy; where, ſoliciting, his landlord's daughter to yield to his luſt, and ſhe refuſing it, he took an opportunity to raviſh her; for which he was hanged without the gates of Roan.
And, as for Antonio, tho' he eſcaped the juſtice of man, he could not eſcape the judgement of God; for, falling diſtracted a little time after, he confeſſed it was God's judgement upon him, for the miſchief he had wrought againſt his lord Alanſon, and his virtuous lady; ſaying, 'They had taken a way to be ſaved, but he was ſure to be damned;' and ſo daſhing out his own brains againſt a wall, he died miſerably. Both of them verifying the words of the inſpired penman; 'Is not deſtruction to the wicked, and a ſtrange puniſhment to the workers of iniquity?'
THE END.
A BRIEF
