Suspect not brethren, that I delight •n your calamities, or in the plagues that shall fall upon that unthankful nation. No, God I take to record that my hart mourneth within me, & that I am cruciate for remembrance of your troubles. But if that I should •ase, then did I as well against my conscience, as also against my knowledge: and so should I be guilty of the blood of those that perished for lack of admonition, & yet should the plague1 not a moment the longer be delayed, ⟨image 5⟩for the Lord hath appointed the day of his •geaunce, before the which he fendeth trumpets & Messengers, that his elect watching with prayers & so•,2 may by his mercy escape the vengeance that shall come.
