the_o overthrow_n of_o a_o whole_a realm_n i_o see_v many_o thing_n in_o it_o to_o be_v lament_v wheresoever_o i_o turn_v myself_o i_o can_v perceive_v nothing_o but_o a_o dreadful_a horror_n a_o

with_o thou_o with_o christian_a law_n but_o what_o have_v thou_o to_o do_v with_o christ_n who_o birth_n and_o burial_n thou_o ●landerest_v with_o a_o most_o detestable_a murderer_n comparison_n with_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n but_o by_o what_o band_n of_o nature_n can_v be_v uphold_v the_o maintainer_n of_o wilful_a murder_n how_o then_o with_o the_o civil_a law_n the_o statute_n of_o

true_o almost_o incredible_a but_o i_o see_v that_o i_o be_o constrain_v to_o seek_v out_o new_a law_n to_o deal_v with_o thou_o i_o be_o ready_a for_o it_o thou_o the_o author_n of_o new_a offence_n shall_v be_v my_o law_n and_o witness_n europe_n the_o court_n and_o the_o heaven_n the_o judge_n and_o upon_o these_o equal_a condition_n i_o will_v plead_v against_o thou_o come_v then_o and_o hearken_v first_o unto_o this_o it_o seem_v very_o strange_a unto_o i_o and_o therefore_o make_v i_o somewhat_o better_v acquaint_v with_o it_o that_o thou_o so_o oftentimes_o usurp_v the_o word_n of_o god_n judgement_n can_v not_o this_o suffice_v thou_o to_o know_v god_n to_o be_v the_o best_a of_o all_o goodness_n but_o to_o say_v that_o he_o will_v such_o a_o detestable_a and_o wicked_a act_n in_o deed_n we_o see_v every_o where_o his_o wonderful_a judgement_n and_o we_o know_v that_o prince_n the_o large_a their_o government_n have_v be_v the_o great_a account_n they_o have_v to_o

be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n i_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o this_o prince_n have_v suffer_v deserve_v punishment_n if_o thou_o do_v regard_v god_n only_o in_o who_o eye_n all_o thing_n be_v corrupt_a naught_o and_o crooked_a nothing_o entire_a or_o undefiled_a but_o leave_v the_o judgement_n hereof_o unto_o god_n not_o unto_o thyself_o sixtus_n how_o know_v thou_o whether_o this_o be_v in_o steed_n of_o a_o blessing_n and_o benefit_n which_o thou_o think_v to_o be_v a_o curse_n and_o a_o punishment_n do_v not_o josias_n also_o die_v a_o untimely_a death_n do_v not_o god_n most_o often_o call_v they_o first_o unto_o he_o who_o he_o love_v be_v tyrant_n not_o see_v oftentimes_o to_o reign_v and_o live_v long_a and_o good_a prince_n seldom_o come_v to_o

unto_o thou_o shall_v therefore_o the_o excuse_n and_o cloak_n of_o god_n judgement_n protect_v &_o defend_v the_o cause_n of_o a_o murderer_n the_o king_n of_o france_n for_o his_o offence_n have_v
