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

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

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

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

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

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
