I am the Lord that made all things, that spread out the heavens alone, 1& stretch out the earth by my self, I destroy the tokens of soothsayers, & make them that conjecture fools, and turn their wise men backward, & make their knowledge foolishness. Doest thou then O careless and miserable man, think to escape the same, or greater punishment being a cause of this fault, for if none desired to know what is to come, none would busy themselves in that vanity. Wherefore, read the word of God in the 18. of Deut. When thou shalt ⟨image 18⟩come (saith the spirit of God) into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, 2thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. In the words following Moses numbereth 9. abominations.
