Al this notwithstanding the Gospel of Christ grew still and went forward. Such success shall they have, that take in hand to build Jericho. The Lord will smite his enemies upon the cheek bone, he will break the teeth of the wicked. Well may they bark, they shall not byte. God knoweth the way of the righteous, and the way of the wicked shall perish. God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the lowly. Yet a little while (saith David) & the wicked shall not appear, and thou shalt look 1after his place, and he shall not be found: The remembrance of him shall perish. Every plant which our heavenly father hath not planted, shall be rooted out. Put not your trust then in princes, nor in the sons of men, which cannot save themselves: their breath departeth, and they return to their earth. It is God that is king of kings, which loveth the righteous, & overthroweth the way of the wicked. All flesh is grass, 2and all the grace thereof is as the flour of the field, the grass withereth, the flour fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
Al this notwithstanding the Gospel of Christ grewe stil and went forwarde. Suche successe shal they haue, that take in hand to builde Hiericho. The Lorde wil smyte his enemies vpon the cheeke bone, he will breake the teeth of the wicked. Well may they barke, they shal not byte. God knoweth the way of the righteous, and the way of the wicked shal perish. God resisteth the proude, but giueth grace to the lowly. Yet a little while (saith Dauid) & the wicked shall not appeare, and thou shalt looke 1after his place, and hee shall not be found: The remembraunce of him shall perish. Euery plant which our heauenly father hath not planted, shalbe rooted out. Put not your trust then in princes, nor in the sonnes of men, which cannot saue themselues: their breath departeth, and they returne to their earth. It is God that is king of kings, which loueth the righteous, & ouerthroweth the way of the wicked. All flesh is grasse, 2and al the grace thereof is as the floure of the field, the grasse withereth, the floure fadeth: but the word of our God shall stande for euer.
