the gospel And wher as God hath raysed vp good mē to preach his worde the deuell is so wood at it that he hath sent them a letter of defiaūce by some of his mēbres euen with soch an answere as was geuen to Ieremy the prophet For they say playnly As for the gospel we wyl not hear it but what so euer goeth out of oure owne mouth that wyl we do we wyll set vp candels and offre to stockes and stones we wyl do as oure fathers haue done before vs. For whan we so dyd then had we plenteousnes of vytayls then were we in prosperite and no mysfortune came vpon vs. Iere. xliiii But sence we lefte of soche Gods seruice we haue had scarcenes of al thinges and the worlde was neuer well sens c. Soch strife I saye debate shall happen this yeare because of the worde of god for the enemyes therof had rather draw theyr daggers at it then to be refourmed But the louers of it shall spare no labour to conuerte them and to mayntayne peace and therefore I truste verely that thorow the gracyous influence of the sonne this stryfe and deuysyon shall turne to no bloud sheddynge for god shall sende princes to defende his people from the malyce of the wycked yet shall the enemies of Goddes worde not cease from persecutyng but do all the myscheife they can that by one waye or other the gospell of the glorye of God maye be stopped Therefore thou louer of God and his worde whā any soch heat of trouble happeneth vnto y e for by trouble muste thou be tryed Maruell not at it as thoughe it were a straunge thinge but reioyse in asmuche as thou art partaker of Christes affliccions that whan his glorye apperethe thou mayest be mery and glad And be euen as contente to be reuyled as he was i.
