His God, the same God in whom he had always put his trust, had turned against him and was furious at his sinfulness. Dreading divine punishment, Hooker found himself fill'd. . . with most unusual Degrees of Horror and Anguish. Alone in the night, Hooker was haunted by the anger of a terrifying God. |
