But what are the effects and force? what success take the Popes blessings & his curses? he stirred up the K. of France, to plague his subjects, & to that purpose he blessed him and his followers: they & their Country were brought to great misery. He blessed Philip King of Spain: he hath bin wonderfully troubled by the Moors at home, and liveth in continual turmoil with his subjects in other his dominions abroad. He blessed the states of Venice: they are still disquieted by the Turk. On the other side, he hath accursed England: thanks be to God it was never better in worldly peace, in health of body, in abundance of corn and victuals. He hath accursed the Princes and states of Germany: they were never stronger. He blesseth his own side: but it decayeth and withereth. He curseth the Gospel, but it prevaileth & prospereth. The more he curseth, the more ⟨p. 83⟩it prospereth. This is the Lords doing, & it is marvellous in our eyes. So doeth God turn the Popes curse into a blessing unto us. And so we may well say with Seneca. 1Caelestis ir a quos premit miseros facit, humana nullos. The anger of God maketh those men miserable upon whom it lighteth: but so doth not the wrath of man.

He blessed Philip King of Spaine: he hath bin wonderfully troubled by the Moeres at home, and liueth in continuall turmoyle with his subiectes in other his dominions abroade. He blessed the states of Venice: they are still disquieted by the Turke. On the other side, he hath accurssed England: thankes be to God it was neuer better in worldly peace, in health of bodie, in abundance of corne and victuals. He hath accursed the Princes and states of Germanie: they were neuer stronger. He blesseth his own side: but it decayeth and withereth. He cursseth the Gospel, but it preuaileth & prospereth. The more he cursseth, the more ⟨p. 83⟩it prospereth. This is the Lordes doing, & it is maruellous in our eyes. So doeth God turne the Popes cursse into a blessing vnto vs. And so we maye well saye with Seneca.
