But God is just, and the extreme disdain of Gods trueth, and his holy Gospel, justly deserveth the extremity of Gods vengeance: and this Gospel, that you are already so weary of, shall be taken away from us. The kingdom of God shall be taken away from us, and shall be given to a nation, that shall do the fruits of it. The kingdom of God, which is the true understanding of Gods word, shall be taken away. And then what shall remain, but blindness and falsehood, which is the kingdom of the Devil. I will send (saith God) a famine in the land, not a famine 1of bread, nor a thirst of water, but of hearing the word of the Lord.
But God is iust, and the extreame disdaine of Gods trueth, and his holy Gospel, iustly deserueth the extremitie of Gods vengeance: and this Gospell, that you are already so weary of, shal be taken away from vs. The kingdome of God shalbe taken away from vs, and shalbe giuen to a nation, that shal do the fruites of it. The kingdome of God, which is the true vnderstanding of Gods word, shalbe taken away. And thē what shall remaine, but blindenes and falshood, which is the kingdome of the Diuel. I will send (saith God) a famine in the land, not a famin 1of bread, nor a thirst of water, but of hearing the word of the Lord.

Let us therefore, good brethren, remember for what causes God suffered his temple at Jerusalem, to be destroyed & burnt by the Chaldees: ⟨image 61⟩let us remember wherefore God took from us his holy Gospel that he had planted amongst us of late time: let us now thankfully receive it, with tears, and repentance for our former life: let us not make our selves unworthy of the great grace and blessing of God. To you this holy promise is made, you are the children of Abraham,, to you Christ spreadeth out his arms to embrace you: receive not the grace of God in vain, let us not put out that heavenly light, which God hath kindled, let us pray to God to give us new hearts, and to put a new spirit within us Why should you perish, you that are so dearly saved? why should you perish, O you the house of Israel? Let us once fall to the building up of Gods holy temple, let us not drive it off any longer.
