common_a sort_n of_o man_n but_o even_o among_o the_o chief_a prophet_n that_o have_v be_v either_o before_o his_o time_n or_o since_o second_o we_o must_v consider_v the_o certainty_n and_o authority_n of_o this_o book_n the_o church_n as_o yet_o never_o reject_v or_o refuse_v this_o book_n but_o have_v account_v the_o same_o among_o those_o which_o we_o call_v canonical_a book_n of_o holy_a scripture_n and_o which_o have_v ecclesiastical_a and_o heavenly_a testimony_n furthermore_o we_o have_v our_o saviour_n christ_n as_o concern_v this_o matter_n a_o sufficient_a testimony_n and_o witness_n as_o may_v appear_v by_o the_o twelve_o 12._o chapter_n of_o matthew_n where_o he_o allege_v the_o example_n of_o jonas_n for_o his_o resurrection_n affirm_v that_o the_o come_n of_o jonas_n out_o of_o the_o whale_n belly_n be_v a_o type_n of_o the_o same_o furthermore_o christ_n prefer_v the_o ninivet_n before_o the_o israelite_n because_o the_o ninivet_n repent_v at_o the_o one_o only_a sermon_n of_o jonas_n and_o the_o israelite_n will_v not_o be_v convert_v unto_o the_o lord_n by_o many_o sermon_n wherefore_o if_o ever_o any_o man_n do_v or_o shall_v hereafter_o doubt_v of_o the_o authority_n truth_n and_o certainty_n of_o this_o book_n christ_n by_o his_o testimony_n have_v so_o confirm_v the_o same_o that_o though_o a_o angel_n come_v from_o heaven_n teach_v the_o contrary_a he_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v believe_v last_o of_o all_o we_o must_v know_v the_o argument_n or_o sum_n of_o this_o prophecy_n in_o the_o which_o certain_a particular_a place_n be_v note_v 1_o the_o first_o place_n contain_v the_o severity_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n towards_o all_o such_o as_o walk_v disobedient_o in_o their_o call_n jonas_n be_v a_o prophet_n which_o be_v most_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n and_o which_o before_o have_v do_v notable_a thing_n in_o israel_n and_o by_o his_o sermon_n have_v preserve_v the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o same_o notwithstanding_o when_o he_o flee_v and_o be_v disobedient_a to_o his_o call_n he_o be_v cast_v by_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n into_o the_o sea._n a_o example_n of_o god_n severe_a punishment_n worthy_a to_o be_v note_v the_o like_a we_o have_v of_o saul_n 15._o who_o disobey_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n reserve_v part_n of_o the_o pray_v of_o amelecke_n for_o the_o which_o disobedience_n he_o be_v rend_v from_o his_o kingdom_n another_o example_n we_o have_v of_o the_o prophet_n 13._o who_o the_o lion_n slay_v by_o god_n appointment_n for_o his_o disobedience_n whereupon_o it_o be_v say_v to_o obey_v be_v better_a than_o sacrifice_n and_o to_o hearken_v be_v better_a than_o the_o fat_a of_o ram_n 15._o 2_o the_o second_o place_n contain_v the_o wonderful_a and_o inspeakable_a mercy_n of_o god_n by_o the_o which_o he_o common_o deliver_v all_o those_o which_o call_v upon_o he_o in_o truth_n jonas_n be_v cast_v into_o the_o sea_n and_o devour_v of_o the_o whale_n and_o although_o he_o can_v not_o be_v save_v and_o deliver_v natural_o yet_o notwithstanding_o by_o the_o divine_a power_n and_o clemency_n of_o god_n he_o be_v supernatural_o and_o miraculous_o deliver_v this_o miracle_n to_o certain_a worldly_a wise_a man_n and_o contemner_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n seem_v ridiculous_a and_o like_v unto_o old_a wife_n tale_n and_o amongst_o all_o other_o scoff_v lucian_n be_v stir_v up_o of_o satan_n the_o devil_n the_o father_n of_o lie_n to_o obscure_v discredit_n and_o deride_v this_o miracle_n have_v write_v a_o book_n entitle_v de_fw-fr veris_fw-la narrationibus_fw-la that_o be_v a_o book_n of_o true_a narration_n in_o the_o which_o he_o make_v mention_n of_o certain_a man_n which_o be_v in_o a_o ship_n be_v swallow_v up_o ship_n and_o all_o of_o a_o whale_n in_o the_o which_o whale_n say_v he_o there_o be_v mountain_n wood_n and_o city_n to_o the_o which_o the_o man_n arrive_v with_o their_o ship_n and_o have_v great_a delectation_n there_o this_o fond_a fable_n seem_v to_o be_v invent_v by_o lucian_n to_o deride_v the_o christian_n which_o believe_v the_o story_n of_o jonas_n to_o be_v true_a but_o this_o and_o many_o other_o such_o be_v devise_v by_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o minister_n to_o deride_v and_o deface_v true_a and_o godly_a miracle_n but_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o this_o miracle_n be_v do_v in_o deed_n and_o that_o it_o have_v heavenly_a testimony_n to_o prove_v and_o ratify_v the_o same_o as_o we_o have_v already_o declare_v god_n which_o create_v heaven_n and_o earth_n of_o nothing_o and_o which_o raise_v and_o will_v raise_v the_o dead_a to_o life_n can_v also_o for_o a_o time_n save_v and_o preserve_v jonas_n in_o the_o whale_n belly_n let_v we_o acknowledge_v therefore_o this_o miracle_n to_o be_v a_o declaration_n of_o the_o power_n and_o clemency_n of_o god_n and_o a_o example_n also_o of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o all_o the_o godly_a also_o to_o everlasting_a life_n as_o hereafter_o god_o willing_a shall_v be_v declare_v 3_o the_o third_o place_n contain_v the_o doctrine_n of_o repentance_n there_o have_v be_v many_o which_o have_v deny_v to_o sinner_n after_o their_o fall_n any_o hope_n of_o god_n grace_n and_o there_o be_v many_o which_o when_o they_o have_v sin_v persuade_v themselves_o that_o there_o be_v no_o way_n of_o salvation_n leave_v unto_o they_o here_o therefore_o there_o be_v two_o example_n of_o repentance_n propound_v unto_o we_o the_o one_o in_o the_o prophet_n jonas_n who_o although_o he_o fall_v into_o disobedience_n yet_o notwithstanding_o repent_v he_o be_v receive_v into_o god_n favour_n again_o the_o other_o in_o the_o ninivet_n who_o although_o they_o have_v great_o sin_v insomuch_o that_o they_o deserve_v eternal_a destruction_n and_o damnation_n yet_o notwithstanding_o repent_v they_o be_v receive_v into_o god_n favour_n and_o preserve_v with_o their_o city_n let_v we_o therefore_o turn_v to_o the_o lord_n by_o repentance_n be_v persuade_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v receive_v we_o and_o that_o the_o angel_n in_o heaven_n shall_v rejoice_v over_o our_o repentance_n thus_o gentle_a reader_n i_o have_v declare_v who_o this_o prophet_n jonas_n be_v what_o authority_n this_o book_n have_v and_o which_o be_v the_o special_a place_n of_o this_o book_n the_o which_o if_o thou_o well_o observe_v and_o note_v they_o will_v profit_v to_o the_o nourish_a of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n to_o the_o increase_n of_o faith_n and_o to_o the_o bring_v forth_o of_o true_a obedience_n which_o be_v the_o most_o acceptable_a service_n of_o god._n ¶_o a_o godly_a exposition_n of_o the_o prophet_n jonas_n the_o first_o chapter_n the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n

visible_o unto_o they_o 18._o example_n we_o have_v in_o the_o book_n of_o genesis_n where_o we_o read_v that_o angel_n come_v unto_o abraham_n in_o the_o likeness_n and_o shape_n of_o man_n 19_o also_o there_o come_v angel_n unto_o ●oth_n which_o bring_v he_o out_o of_o sodom_n before_o it_o be_v destroy_v and_o so_o a_o angel_n appear_v visible_o unto_o zacharias_n the_o father_n of_o john_n
