A CONCLUSION.
A CONCLVSION.
Thus much (good Reader) I hope shall be sufficient to persuade thee of the Vanity of PROGNOSTICATIONS: if not, I beseech thee accept of my simple endeavour, serving in some part unto thy profit. For if thou be a christian man thou oughtest only to be contented with knowing the times and ordinary seasons of the year: not regarding nor searching any secret and special PREDICTIONS, for which ⟨image 54⟩the Lord never gave any man warrant, but in plain words hath forbidden them. Nay they which be ingrafted into JESUS CHRIST indeed, are so far from searching what shall be-fall hereafter, that they lead a life which is a continual meditation of present death. The which the LORD for JESUS CHRISTS sake, grant unto us, that we may in some measure behold our own vanities.
