take_v he_o and_o will_v have_v put_v he_o to_o death_n as_o a_o blasphemer_n and_o seditious_a person_n so_o some_o wicked_a tyrant_n will_v not_o have_v wink_v at_o the_o preach_n of_o ionas_n when_o he_o say_v the_o city_n shall_v be_v overthrow_v but_o will_v have_v apprehend_v he_o and_o put_v he_o to_o death_n as_o if_o he_o have_v be_v of_o some_o secret_a conspiracy_n to_o destroy_v the_o same_o at_o a_o sudden_a by_o fire_n or_o else_o to_o bring_v in_o the_o enemy_n by_o night_n but_o the_o godly_a king_n of_o the_o ninivete_n suspect_v no_o such_o thing_n in_o ionas_n but_o receive_v he_o as_o a_o true_a prophet_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o acknowledge_v his_o sermon_n for_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o we_o may_v not_o think_v that_o this_o king_n be_v so_o simple_a so_o rash_a or_o so_o mad_a that_o he_o will_v unadvised_o believe_v the_o word_n of_o this_o prophet_n and_o although_o in_o hear_v sermon_n we_o must_v special_o note_v not_o who_o speak_v but_o what_o be_v speak_v yet_o notwithstanding_o in_o great_a matter_n and_o thing_n pertain_v to_o salvation_n we_o must_v not_o rash_o credit_v every_o stranger_n which_o preach_v new_a thing_n without_o

prove_v the_o spirit_n whether_o they_o be_v of_o god_n or_o no._n so_o we_o must_v think_v of_o this_o godly_a king_n of_o ninive_n that_o he_o believe_v not_o rash_o the_o sermon_n of_o ionas_n but_o that_o he_o first_o prove_v who_o it_o be_v that_o preach_v these_o thing_n and_o what_o testimony_n he_o have_v of_o his_o call_n for_o ionas_n be_v neither_o unknown_a to_o the_o king_n nor_o to_o the_o citizen_n of_o ninive_n but_o they_o know_v he_o to_o be_v the_o true_a prophet_n of_o the_o lord_n because_o his_o fame_n be_v spread_v even_o to_o ninive_n when_o as_o by_o his_o prophecy_n the_o kingdom_n of_o israel_n be_v restore_v by_o jeroboam_n 14._o as_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o king_n furthermore_o the_o godly_a king_n know_v that_o god_n will_v not_o suffer_v sin_n and_o wickedness_n to_o escape_v unpunished_a and_o that_o he_o be_v severe_a in_o look_v for_o repentance_n see_v therefore_o ionas_n to_o have_v certain_a testimony_n that_o he_o be_v the_o prophet_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o perceive_v how_o all_o thing_n be_v corrupt_a in_o the_o city_n with_o wicked_a manner_n he_o worthy_o receive_v the_o sermon_n of_o ionas_n as_o a_o divine_a

of_o god_n and_o not_o to_o allow_v by_o and_o by_o the_o prophecy_n of_o every_o one_o which_o say_v that_o he_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n for_o this_o be_v a_o great_a token_n of_o

and_o undecked_a to_o testify_v and_o declare_v that_o he_o also_o lament_v and_o bewail_v the_o common_a state_n of_o the_o city_n by_o the_o which_o example_n we_o be_v not_o teach_v that_o king_n
