To the faythfull Christians of the Netherlandes that haue abandoned the abuses of the Church of Rome to liue in puritie sinceritie of conscience IOHN HAREN wisheth health and prosperitie DEarely beloued Breathren in the Lord This Treatise which I imbolden my selfe to present you withall belongeeh truely and directly vnto you in regard of the subiect and matter therein contained for although that by my fall beastly Apostacie I haue offended all the world neuerthelesse I know and am assured that the Churches in the middle whereof I haue been nourished from my youth vpwards and whom I serued many yeares in the worke of the Lord haue been most afflicted if you will vouchsafe to read it you shall therein see and manifestly behold most great effectes of the prouidence of God towards his elect who for a certaine time being seduced by the malice practise of the Diuell fell not onely into great tempestes and shipwrackes but into horrible and scandalous laborinthes of troubles but yet not so low but that falling into the armes of their nourse which is the Church of God they haue been relieued and comforted againe For the fall of the Elect is not eternall You shall also therein perceiue how that in thinges which seeme most doubtfull and wholly desperate and when in outward appearance wee are as it were at the poynt of death and vtter destruction our Lord hath vsed and is alwayes ready to put foorth his hand to defend and preserue those that are his Who would euer haue thought that Moses being abandoned by his Mother and put into the Water in a Basket should haue been the Deliuerer of the people of God And that Ioseph sold by his breathren mourned for by his father for dead cast into a miserable Prison should saue his Father and Breathren from most great Famine place them in the best part of Egipt Who would haue thought that Jonas cast into the Sea and swallowed yea as it were buried in the belly of the Whale should haue been the sauer of the great citie of Niniue and a figure of the Messias And that I being cast into a sorrowfull and miserable Prison wherein I remained for the space of 8. yeares and more wholly without hope of deliuerance from thence wherein Antechrist of Rome had caused me to be throwne at the instance and motion of his Legate Coriolanus the Plague of all Germinie for hauing bindred his cruel purposes desseignes against the Churches on this side God moststrong powerfull good by his most mighty arme contrary to all humane expectation hauing broken my Bandes and deliuered my soule out of the danger of death yea of eternall death should charitably deliuer me into the handes of his Church to the end I should serue him the rest of my dayes iustly and holily For the which while I liue I will neuer cease to yeeld prayse and thankes-giuing vnto God You shall likewise know by this Discourse the great virtue force efficacie of Prayer made in Fayth whereby we obtaine of God much more good then we dare aske or demande at his hands What could the Mother of Moses desire more when her Child was put into the Water but onely that God would preserue it from death But by her Praier she obtained much more for he being found by Pharaos Daughter he was not onely deliuered out of danger and committed to his owne Mother to be noursed but waxing great he was adopted for the Sonne of the Kings daughter What could the people of God cruelly afflicted by the Egiptians desire more but that God haueing toucht the heart of Pharao he should permit and suffer them to depart out of Egipt to serue him in the land of their Fathers But he did more for them for deliuering them out of the miserable seruitude tirannie of Pharao he inriched them with the spoyles and riches of the Egiptians whom afterward he drowned and vtterly ouerwhelmed in the Sea thereby declaring his Iustice in punishing of those that afflict his people What could lacob likewise when he left the house of Laban his Father in law haue desired more when he prayed vnto God to deliuer him from the feare which he had of his brother Esau but that he might passe freely safely on his way but God not onely graunted him that but much more for when his brother met him he not onely receiued and entertained him courteously but offered to beare him company on the way And what could Joseph being a Prisoner more desire of God but onely his enlargement and deliuerance from thence which at last he obtained and much more for he was made Lieutenant and Gouernour of all Egipt But I for my part haue receiued more grace and fauour then all they for the billowes of the tempestes of the soueraigne God had not onely subiected my life to a miserable temporall captiuitie wherein not onely the Pope and his supports determined to destroy me and to make me vnprofitable vnto the world during the rest of my dayes but Sathan enimie to my Soule had made and seduced me to become one of the most filthy Apostates that euer was heard of and for that cause my heart was continually vexed with most cruell troubles mine owne corruption made warre against me and my torments put me in feare and doubt that God had wholly reiected and barred me out of the Kingdome of Heauen I found my selfe to be in continuall feare for want of Fayth repentance thinking in that abusiue of troubles that by incredulitie I should vtterly be cut off from the loue and fauour of
