blows for vengeance

and as he who falls, and knows not how, by force of a demon that drags him to ground, or of other obstruction that binds the man when he rises and gazes around him, all bewildered by the great anguish that he has suffered, and as he looks, sighs; such was that sinner after he had risen. oh power of God! how severe it is, that showers down such blows for vengeance!
