how_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v daily_o more_o &_o more_o contemn_v many_o kind_n of_o error_n pestiferous_a sect_n horrible_a wickedness_n increase_v daily_o whereby_o the_o world_n be_v worse_a and_o worse_o while_o we_o hope_v but_o in_o vain_a for_o amendment_n wherefore_o then_o in_o such_o misery_n and_o calamity_n shall_v we_o be_v great_o desirous_a of_o our_o life_n and_o if_o i_o for_o my_o own_o part_n have_v no_o great_a cause_n to_o desire_v the_o end_n of_o all_o thing_n yet_o the_o peril_n and_o danger_n of_o my_o brethren_n scatter_v here_o and_o there_o in_o the_o world_n aught_o to_o move_v i_o for_o who_o sake_n we_o have_v good_a cause_n hearty_o to_o pray_v for_o it_o who_o state_n be_v such_o as_o we_o both_o hear_v &_o see_v that_o they_o be_v constrain_v to_o suffer_v all_o manner_n of_o ignominy_n reproach_n slanderous_a word_n both_o privy_o and_o open_o violent_a injury_n and_o final_o most_o grevous_a persecution_n what_o soever_o with_o diverse_a kind_n of_o torment_n cruel_o handle_v and_o put_v to_o death_n for_o how_o many_o even_a in_o our_o day_n have_v we_o see_v partly_o burn_v open_o or_o by_o some_o such_o mean_n make_v away_o partly_o put_v to_o death_n privy_o and_o by_o traitorous_a mean_n dispatch_v there_o be_v many_o beside_o the_o infinite_a number_n of_o holy_a man_n which_o have_v be_v slay_v before_o our_o time_n since_o the_o ascension_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n or_o rather_o since_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n who_o blood_n be_v yet_o unrevenged_a cry_v for_o the_o come_n of_o our_o saviour_n to_o judgement_n to_o the_o end_n they_o be_v restore_v to_o their_o body_n again_o may_v have_v full_a fruition_n of_o the_o joy_n long_o look_v for_o and_o may_v be_v revenge_v of_o the_o world_n as_o the_o revelation_n of_o john_n declare_v where_o god_n comfort_v they_o after_o this_o sort_n say_v that_o they_o must_v rest_v for_o 10._o a_o little_a season_n until_o the_o number_n 60._o of_o

be_v live_n and_o those_o that_o be_v depart_v after_o a_o sort_n do_v desire_v we_o to_o help_v they_o with_o our_o prayer_n desire_v god_n to_o hasten_v their_o redemption_n for_o what_o thing_n can_v be_v more_o miserable_a unto_o christian_n then_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v constrain_v always_o to_o hold_v their_o tongue_n the_o world_n and_o the_o devil_n continual_o brag_v and_o rage_v over_o they_o daily_o put_v to_o death_n and_o cruel_o murder_v more_o &_o more_o of_o the_o faithful_a professor_n of_o jesus_n christ_n &_o his_o unfaillible_a word_n and_o seduce_a man_n more_o and_o more_o increase_a these_o heinous_a offence_n which_o before_o be_v untollerable_a we_o hear_v &_o see_v at_o this_o present_a the_o turk_n and_o the_o pope_n which_o be_v antichrist_n rage_n with_o most_o cruel_a tyranny_n against_o y_fw-es name_n of_o christ_n daily_a shed_n the_o blood_n of_o his_o saint_n with_o many_o sect_n beside_n contrary_a to_o his_o gospel_n and_o shall_v we_o hold_v our_o hand_n in_o our_o bosom_n look_v upon_o the_o devil_n practise_v without_o measure_n his_o crafty_a device_n against_o the_o christian_n and_o not_o make_v our_o earnest_a prayer_n unto_o

out_o of_o these_o so_o great_a misery_n and_o calamity_n therefore_o if_o we_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o be_v christian_n we_o must_v endeavour_n ourselves_o to_o pray_v diligent_o and_o earnest_o as_o our_o saviour_n have_v teach_v we_o and_o as_o our_o necessity_n require_v if_o it_o be_v any_o necessity_n when_o we_o see_v good_a christian_n with_o great_a persecution_n slay_v true_a doctrine_n

may_v desire_v he_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o name_n to_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o defence_n of_o his_o christian_a child_n and_o of_o his_o own_o doctrine_n and_o bring_v they_o by_o his_o

the_o world_n through_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o the_o immaculate_a lamb_n our_o saviour_n christ._n but_o if_o any_o man_n through_o the_o infirmity_n of_o his_o flesh_n be_v afraid_a of_o that_o day_n let_v he_o print_v deep_o in_o his_o mind_n the_o word_n of_o christ_n our_o saviour_n and_o comfort_v himself_o with_o this_o that_o he_o bid_v we_o lift_v up_o our_o head_n and_o be_v of_o good_a cheer_n call_v that_o time_n our_o redemption_n that_o be_v not_o death_n but_o everlasting_a life_n not_o wrath_n but_o mercy_n and_o grace_n not_o hell_n but_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n

we_o shall_v fear_v the_o day_n of_o our_o redemption_n and_o be_v destitute_a of_o all_o comfort_n shall_v fall_v into_o utter_a desperation_n unto_o we_o thus_o trouble_v the_o come_n of_o our_o

all_o thing_n in_o a_o moment_n shall_v utter_o be_v destroy_v we_o must_v thus_o think_v with_o ourselves_o that_o it_o be_v the_o provision_n and_o ordinance_n of_o god_n our_o king_n &_o captain_n
