which_o consolation_n and_o comfort_n be_v very_o needful_a for_o we_o sing_v the_o sign_n of_o themselves_o be_v very_o terrible_a and_o as_o i_o may_v say_v horrible_a to_o behold_v moreover_o christian_n as_o they_o be_v at_o other_o time_n fearful_a enough_o &_o of_o base_a courage_n so_o when_o they_o see_v the_o indignation_n and_o wrath_n of_o god_n towards_o mankind_n the_o wag_n of_o

who_o god_n by_o his_o sign_n do_v terrible_a threaten_v they_o i_o say_v have_v heart_n of_o horn_n stone_n and_o iron_n so_o that_o they_o regard_v they_o as_o though_o they_o do_v nothing_o

so_o that_o all_o creature_n and_o the_o power_n of_o heaven_n shall_v move_v there_o shall_v be_v such_o a_o alteration_n that_o the_o world_n shall_v seem_v by_o and_o by_o to_o have_v a_o end_n and_o the_o last_o day_n shall_v seem_v hard_a at_o hand_n here_o i_o will_v not_o great_o contend_v with_o any_o man_n but_o will_v leave_v it_o to_o the_o consideration_n of_o my_o christian_a
