be_v do_v in_o and_o about_o the_o city_n of_o london_n upon_o the_o day_n that_o the_o astraliger_n call_v black-monday_n i_o pray_v you_o to_o have_v the_o patience_n to_o hearken_v to_o some_o thing_n of_o what_o be_v do_v in_o the_o country_n it_o be_v very_o true_a the_o country_n people_n in_o many_o place_n put_v so_o much_o confidence_n in_o lily_n and_o culpepper_v almanac_n and_o monthly_a observation_n that_o they_o belive_v every_o syllable_n that_o be_v there_o write_v to_o be_v true_a and_o therefore_o upon_o black-monday_n they_o will_v not_o undertake_v to_o do_v no_o manner_n of_o business_n neither_o will_v they_o suffer_v their_o servant_n nor_o child_n to_o go_v forth_o of_o their_o door_n sore_a fear_n that_o they_o shall_v come_v by_o some_o strange_a mishap_n to_o be_v scorch_v with_o the_o sun_n or_o to_o be_v kill_v with_o a_o thunder_n bolt_n other_o think_v that_o there_o will_v be_v a_o egyptian_a darkness_n over_o all_o the_o whole_a land_n wherefore_o the_o plowman_n dare_v not_o in_o some_o place_n to_o go_v to_o plough_v the_o maid_n be_v fearful_a to_o go_v to_o milk_n carrier_n and_o traviler_n be_v fearful_a to_o pass_v along_o the_o road_n nor_o dare_v they_o that_o be_v from_o home_n return_n to_o their_o own_o tell_v such_o time_n that_o they_o have_v see_v the_o danger_n of_o the_o time_n over_o past_a which_o at_o last_o come_v to_o nothing_o but_o praise_v be_v god_n we_o hear_v of_o no_o harm_n that_o be_v do_v to_o man_n woman_n nor_o child_n on_o that_o day_n neither_o in_o london_n nor_o in_o the_o country_n and_o now_o we_o may_v see_v what_o it_o be_v for_o mortal_a man_n to_o presume_v to_o foretell_v or_o to_o prophesy_v of_o what_o god_n will_v have_v do_v we_o may_v read_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o god_n be_v only_o true_a and_o all_o man_n be_v liar_n therefore_o dear_a friend_n i_o desire_v you_o all_o to_o consider_v of_o the_o matter_n and_o never_o depend_v upon_o nor_o believe_v liar_n but_o settle_v your_o affection_n your_o hope_n your_o trust_n and_o your_o belief_n only_o upon_o god_n the_o father_n and_o his_o only_a soon_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n and_o so_o whether_o we_o live_v or_o die_v we_o shall_v be_v sure_a to_o do_v well_o so_o to_o conclude_v i_o remain_v your_o servant_n so_o long_o as_o you_o serve_v god_n l._n p._n finis_fw-la
