sometime_o god_n work_v leisurely_o &_o cause_v that_o his_o doctrine_n which_o seem_v unprofitable_a a_o long_a time_n become_v at_o the_o length_n fruitful_a and_o of_o force_n now_o come_v i_o to_o the_o word_n the_o preface_n of_o the_o decree_n be_v nebuchadnezer_n the_o king_n to_o all_o people_n nation_n and_o language_n which_o dwell_v in_o all_o the_o world_n that_o be_v under_o his_o dominion_n for_o he_o will_v not_o have_v this_o understand_v of_o scythia_n or_o france_n or_o other_o far_a country_n but_o because_o his_o dominion_n stretch_v far_o and_o wide_a he_o speak_v proud_o as_o we_o see_v the_o roman_n call_v their_o rome_n the_o imperial_a sea_n of_o all_o the_o world_n yet_o be_v they_o not_o lord_n over_o all_o nebuchadnezer_n therefore_o do_v here_o proud_o set_v forth_o the_o largeness_n of_o his_o monarchy_n when_o he_o send_v forth_o his_o decree_n to_o all_o people_n and_o nation_n upon_o the_o whole_a earth_n afterwards_o he_o join_v this_o i_o think_v it_o good_a to_o declare_v the_o sign_n &_o wonder_n that_o the_o high_a god_n have_v wrought_v towards_o i_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o at_o length_n he_o perceive_v that_o he_o be_v punish_v for_o his_o ingratitude_n because_o that_o he_o have_v give_v glory_n unto_o the_o one_o and_o true_a god_n only_o by_o tongue_n and_o outward_a show_n and_o afterward_o fall_v again_o to_o his_o old_a superstition_n yea_o he_o will_v never_o cast_v they_o of_o at_o all_o therefore_o do_v we_o see_v that_o this_o king_n be_v oft_o chastise_v before_o he_o will_v take_v profit_n of_o god_n correction_n let_v we_o not_o marvel_v then_o if_o god_n do_v often_o smite_v we_o with_o his_o hand_n for_o daily_a experience_n do_v try_v we_o to_o be_v slothful_a and_o very_a sluggard_n at_o god_n admonition_n when_o god_n therefore_o will_v bring_v we_o to_o repentance_n he_o must_v of_o necessity_n beat_v we_o oftentimes_o because_o either_o we_o be_v nothing_o move_v when_o we_o be_v chastise_v by_o his_o hand_n or_o if_o that_o we_o do_v seem_v for_o one_o time_n waken_v yet_o do_v we_o return_v again_o by_o and_o by_o to_o our_o old_a sinful_a slumber_n it_o be_v of_o necessity_n therefore_o that_o the_o scourge_n be_v double_v this_o do_v we_o see_v in_o this_o present_a history_n as_o in_o a_o glass_n how_o be_v it_o this_o be_v a_o singular_a benefit_n of_o god_n that_o nebuchadnezer_n do_v geve_v place_n at_o the_o length_n after_o that_o god_n have_v chastise_v he_o many_o time_n yet_o know_v we_o not_o whether_o this_o confession_n come_v forth_o of_o a_o true_a and_o unfeigned_a repentance_n i_o do_v leave_v that_o in_o doubt_n yet_o i_o do_v nothing_o doubt_v but_o that_o daniel_n do_v rehearse_v this_o decree_n to_o declare_v that_o the_o king_n be_v in_o the_o end_n compel_v to_o confess_v the_o god_n of_o israel_n to_o be_v the_o only_a god_n and_o to_o publish_v the_o same_o to_o all_o people_n and_o nation_n under_o his_o dominion_n in_o the_o mean_a season_n this_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o this_o decree_n of_o the_o king_n be_v praise_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n for_o daniel_n do_v rehearse_v it_o for_o none_o other_o purpose_n but_o to_o declare_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o conversion_n in_o the_o king_n wherefore_o this_o be_v with_o out_o all_o controversy_n that_o king_n nebuchadnezer_n have_v testify_v his_o repentance_n when_o he_o magnify_v the_o god_n of_o israel_n before_o all_o the_o world_n and_o appoint_v a_o penalty_n for_o all_o they_o which_o speak_v blasphemous_o against_o that_o god_n therefore_o be_v this_o place_n oft_o cite_v by_o augustine_n against_o the_o donatist_n donatistas_n for_o they_o will_v have_v be_v suffer_v still_o unpunished_a when_o they_o malicious_o trouble_v the_o church_n when_o they_o corrupt_v the_o pure_a doctrine_n yea_o when_o they_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o rob_v like_o thief_n and_o rage_n like_o murderer_n for_o it_o be_v manifest_v that_o diverse_a be_v then_o murder_v by_o they_o and_o other_o maim_v when_o these_o man_n live_v so_o wicked_o yet_o will_v they_o have_v their_o wickedness_n to_o go_v unpunished_a &_o this_o they_o hold_v for_o a_o principle_n that_o no_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v punish_v for_o hold_v a_o contrary_a religion_n for_o the_o which_o thing_n some_o at_o this_o day_n be_v to_o much_o bend_v to_o contention_n it_o be_v evident_a what_o they_o seek_v for_o if_o a_o man_n mark_v they_o they_o be_v wicked_a contemner_n of_o god_n at_o the_o least_o they_o will_v have_v nothing_o to_o be_v certain_a in_o religion_n therefore_o do_v they_o labour_v to_o overthrow_v and_o as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v to_o destroy_v all_o the_o principle_n of_o religion_n therefore_o that_o they_o may_v pour_v forth_o their_o poison_n they_o strive_v thus_o stout_o for_o impunity_n &_o deny_v that_o heretic_n and_o blasphemer_n ought_v to_o be_v punish_v that_o impudent_a castalio_n be_v one_o of_o they_o and_o his_o fellow_n and_o other_o such_o like_a such_o be_v then_o the_o donatist_n and_o therefore_o as_o i_o have_v say_v augustine_n do_v often_o time_n cite_v this_o place_n and_o declare_v that_o it_o be_v shameful_a slackness_n when_o christian_a prince_n do_v not_o by_o punish_v the_o heretic_n and_o blasphemer_n maintain_v god_n glory_n consider_v that_o nebuchadnezer_n which_o be_v never_o true_o convert_v yet_o by_o a_o certain_a secret_a instigation_n publish_v this_o decree_n how_o so_o ever_o it_o be_v it_o be_v evident_a enohgh_o to_o such_o as_o be_v modest_a and_o void_a of_o contention_n that_o this_o decree_n of_o nebuchadnezer_n be_v commend_v by_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o spirit_n if_o it_o be_v so_o it_o follow_v consequent_o that_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o king_n to_o defend_v god_n true_a worship_n &_o to_o punish_v severe_o profane_a contemner_n who_o labour_n either_o to_o make_v nothing_o of_o true_a religion_n or_o adulterate_a and_o corrupt_v the_o true_a doctrine_n with_o their_o error_n and_o so_o dissipate_v the_o unity_n of_o faith_n and_o trouble_v the_o concord_n of_o the_o church_n this_o be_v plain_a by_o the_o text_n of_o the_o prophet_n nebuchadnezer_n say_v first_o it_o be_v good_a for_o i_o to_o declare_v the_o sign_n and_o the_o wonder_n which_o god_n have_v wrought_v with_o i_o at_o the_o first_o he_o begin_v to_o declare_v what_o god_n have_v do_v but_o it_o vanish_v away_o therefore_o after_o that_o god_n have_v twice_o or_o thrice_o chastise_v he_o at_o the_o length_n he_o confess_v that_o it_o be_v good_a and_o glorious_a for_o he_o to_o declare_v the_o wonderful_a work_n of_o god_n and_o he_o break_v forth_o into_o a_o exclamation_n how_o great_a be_v his_o sign_n how_o wonderful_a be_v his_o mighty_a work_n his_o kingdom_n be_v a_o eternal_a kingdom_n and_o his_o dominion_n for_o ever_o it_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o nebuchadnezer_n will_v stir_v up_o his_o subject_n to_o read_v this_o decree_n more_o diligent_o and_o to_o know_v the_o greatness_n thereof_o that_o they_o may_v geve_v themselves_o to_o serve_v that_o true_a and_o only_o god_n he_o call_v the_o high_a god_n the_o god_n of_o israel_n undoubted_o yet_o do_v we_o not_o know_v whether_o he_o have_v cast_v away_o his_o superstition_n or_o no._n and_o i_o do_v rather_o think_v the_o contrary_a that_o he_o have_v not_o cast_v of_o his_o error_n but_o that_o he_o be_v compel_v thus_o to_o geve_v glory_n unto_o the_o true_a god_n he_o do_v then_o so_o knowledge_n the_o god_n of_o israel_n to_o be_v the_o high_a god_n that_o he_o do_v join_v unto_o he_o the_o inferior_a god_n as_o companion_n and_o mate_n as_o all_o the_o faithless_a have_v perceive_v that_o there_o be_v one_o high_a god_n but_o they_o imagine_v therewith_o a_o heap_n of_o other_o gods._n so_o then_o do_v nebuchadnezer_n confess_v the_o god_n of_o israel_n to_o be_v the_o high_a god_n yet_o do_v he_o not_o correct_v the_o idolatry_n that_o be_v under_o his_o dominion_n yea_o he_o mingle_v altogether_o his_o false_a god_n with_o the_o god_n of_o israel_n and_o so_o leave_v not_o his_o corruption_n he_o do_v great_o celebrate_v god_n glory_n but_o that_o be_v not_o enough_o unless_o all_o superstion_n be_v abolish_v that_o that_o only_a religion_n which_o be_v prescribe_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n may_v have_v place_n and_o the_o pure_a and_o perfect_a worship_n of_o god_n may_v only_o flourish_v to_o be_v short_a this_o preface_n may_v be_v some_o token_n of_o a_o notable_a conversion_n but_o we_o shall_v see_v straight_a way_n that_o nebuchadnezer_n be_v not_o whole_o purge_v from_o his_o error_n wherefore_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o more_o move_v where_o we_o see_v the_o king_n wrap_v in_o many_o error_n to_o be_v so_o ravish_v with_o the_o admiration_n of_o god_n power_n that_o he_o exclaim_v &_o cry_v out_o

of_o daniel_n appertain_v that_o the_o stone_n whereby_o all_o the_o kingdom_n which_o fight_v against_o god_n be_v break_v be_v not_o form_v nor_o fashion_v by_o man_n hand_n and_o though_o it_o be_v

if_o so_o be_v that_o the_o length_n of_o time_n do_v make_v you_o weary_a remember_v oftentimes_o that_o famous_a prophecy_n in_o the_o which_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o church_n be_v lively_o
