But the Lord, which was mighty to save Daniel in the midst of the lions, and Jonah in the whales belly, and his three servants in the flaming fire, and Israel in the read Seat whose eyes are over the righteous, and which is nigh unto all that call upon him: was also able to make his own cause good, to give courage to his Servants, & trembling and anguish of mind to their enemies. For the more his servants were diminished, the more they increased: and the more tyrants prevailed, the more they were weakened. He that should die was bold and careless: he that should kill, ⟨image 21⟩was fearfully amazed: the tormentor mourned, the condemned rejoiced: the dead had the glory, the Tyrants the shame: their sacrifices decayed, their Temples were forsaken, their Gods laughed to scorn, their Priests were wood, and lacked their large offerings: the Lord did let the curse fall upon them, which he made by his servant Joshua, and which shall come upon all those that will seek to raise up Jericho.
But the Lorde, which was mightie to saue Daniel in the middes of the lyons, and Ionas in the whales bellye, and his three seruantes in the flaming fire, and Israel in the redde Seat whose eyes are ouer the righteous, and whiche is nigh vnto all that call vpon hym: was also able to make his owne cause good, to giue courage to his Seruantes, & tremblinge and anguish of minde to their enemies. For the more his seruannts were deminished, the more they encreased: and the more tyrants preuailed, the more they were weakened. He that should die was bold and carelesse: he that shoulde kyl, ⟨image 21⟩was fearefully amazed: the tormentor mourned, the condemned reioyced: the dead had the glorie, the Tyrantes the shame: their sacrifices decayed, their Temples were forsaken, theyr Goddes laught to scorne, their Priestes were wood, and lacked their large offringes: the Lorde did let the curse fall vpon them, whiche he made by his seruant Ioshuah, and whiche shall come vpon al those that wyll seeke to raise vp Hiericho.
