the_o preface_n to_o the_o reader_n gentle_a reader_n we_o may_v see_v with_o deep_a consideration_n the_o merciful_a work_n of_o the_o lord_n from_o time_n to_o time_n show_v unto_o we_o many_o strange_a sign_n and_o token_n forewarn_v we_o unto_o repentance_n but_o such_o be_v the_o corruption_n and_o hardness_n of_o this_o our_o age_n that_o we_o contemn_v and_o neclect_n all_o token_n in_o the_o heaven_n by_o respect_v our_o own_o security_n for_o the_o time_n present_a and_o yet_o if_o any_o man_n will_v reckon_v the_o course_n of_o this_o life_n past_a he_o shall_v see_v in_o himself_o great_a cause_n to_o tremble_v at_o these_o thing_n and_o also_o if_o we_o do_v consider_v what_o great_a rout_n of_o evil_n do_v beset_v we_o and_o how_o many_o have_v be_v destroy_v or_o

token_n for_o as_o before_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o first_o world_n like_o sign_n and_o token_n appear_v &_o yet_o they_o will_v not_o turn_v from_o their_o wickedness_n and_o so_o be_v drown_v in_o the_o flood_n and_o as_o before_o the_o destruction_n of_o sodom_n and_o gomorra_n appear_v like_o wonder_n but_o they_o will_v not_o call_v to_o god_n for_o mercy_n and_o so_o be_v consume_v
