*And I pray you, what evil is this? If it be good to carry about that most holy Body, by which as Christ once redeemed us, so by the same devoutly honoured of faithful people, and carried abroad and brought to certain places, hath in old times (as yet also doth continually) to the great comfort and help of sundry persons being in distress, wrought miraculously healthful remedies: If the Israelites found help at Gods hand by† bringing the Ark into the field with them, as they marched forward against the Philistines:3 if the Philistines cried out for fear when they perceived the Ark to be in the Israelites army, and saide, Venit Deus in Castra. Vae nobis. God is come into their Tents. Alas we are undone, &c.
