Howsoever these men carry out their doings in this life, they cannot mock God. He knoweth who are his. Christ shall say unto these running witted dissemblers, depart from me ye hypocrites, I know you not. You shall receive your portion with the devil and his Angels.

Pray that we may be delivered from such unreasonable and evil men: that they stop not the free passage of the Gospel: that they may have no power against the glory of God. Then shall it appear, that God is faithful in all his words, and holy in all his works: that his truth and mercy shall last for ever. He will establish us in all goodness, and defend us from all evil: he will keep us from all the power of Satan: he will keep us from all temptation, that the wicked shall not prevail against us.

His name is holy. He will cause that my labour shall not be in vain, but will make it fruitful in you. Although all men have not saith, yet all men are not void of faith. Although there be many, the children of this world, yet there be some the children of light: he that is of God, heareth the word of God. They that be the sons of God are obedient to the wisdom of god their father. God guide your harts, that you may love him, that you may know what good God hath wrought unto your souls: that you may see the depth of his mercy: that in all your tribulation and adversity under the cross, and in your death, you may look for the day of Christ: when the trumpet shall be sounded, the graves shall be opened, the dead bodies
