forefeeling

For this they take for a verye evel token, as thoughe the soule beynge in dispaire and vexed in conscience, through some privie and secret forefeiling of the punishement now at hande were aferde to depart.

This essence, not to die, but to become / Part of that awful Presence which doth haunt / The palaces of tyrants, to scare off, / With its grim eyes and fearful whisperings / And hideous sense of utter loneliness, / All hope of safety, all desire of peace, / All but the loathed forefeeling of blank death,
