:43p. 3§1

The more that I do consider the great disorder that is in the world, in all estates, and chiefly in the matter of Religion, the more I do marvel. Daniel. And truly for my part, I marvel not at all, although the disorder be great, but I marvel greatly to see that it is no greater: albeit it were a hard matter to add any thing thereunto. Timothy. Why sayest thou so? Daniel. Because that men are so blind and wicked, as though they had determinately conspired against their own salvation and health, and to thrust all, even heaven and earth, into disorder, confusion & ruin, they could do no worse then they do.
