2 That is, near. When Jonah sent to the Ninevites cried in their streets, yet 40 days and Nineveh shall be destroyed, the people of Nineveh believed God, proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth from the greatest of them unto ⟨p. 110⟩the least. I have not the function of Jonah, but the commission of John Baptist, to tell you that even now the axe is laid to the root of the tree, and every tree that bringeth 1not forth good fruit, is cut down and cast into the fire. How near or far of, it is to every one can I not tell, yet I am certain, that seeing the axe is even now laid to the root, that it is not long to any. Wherefore while it is yet called to day, let us not harden our hearts; while it is light, let us walk in the light; while it is day, let us work; the night cometh where in we shall not work, & before 2that day come, which shall make an end of all days. For it is assuredly pronounced to be near upon all the wicked.
2 That is, neere. When Ionah sent to the Ninivites cryed in their streets, yet 40 daies and Niniveh shall bee aestroyed, the people of Niniveh beleeved God, proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth from the greatest of them vnto ⟨p. 110⟩the least. I haue not the function of Ionah, but the commission of Iohn Baptist, to tell you that even now the axe is laid to the root of the tree, and every tree that bringeth 1not forth good fruit, is cut downe and cast into the fire. How neere or farre of, it is to every one can I not tell, yet I am certaine, that seeing the axe is even now laid to the root, that it is not long to any. Wherefore while it is yet called to daie, let vs not harden our hearts; while it is light, let vs walke in the light; while it is daie, let vs worke; the night commeth where in we shall not worke, & before 2that day come, which shall make an ende of all daies. For it is assuredly pronounced to be neere vpon all the wicked.
