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

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

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

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
