Ans Fear not their adversaries, though they be ten 1thousand to one: for God is their buckler, and the lifter up of their heads: he will smite all their enemies upon the cheek bone, & dash out their teeth that seek to draw blood from his servants. All that hate Zion shall perish even as the grass that groweth upon the house top; which though it make a bragging show for a time, yet suddenly withereth and cometh to nothing. They that seek to root out the Israel of God, do, as it were, set their naked shoulder, to remove an huge rock that will fall upon them, and grind them to powder, be they2 never so many: and therefore we have little reason to be afraid of them.
Ans Feare not their aduersaries, though they be ten 1thousand to one: for God is their buckler, and the lifter vp of their heads: he will smite all their enemies vpon the cheeke bone, & dash out their teeth that seeke to draw bloud from his seruants. All that hate Sion shall perish euen as the grasse that groweth vpon the house top; which though it make a bragging shew for a time, yet suddenly withereth and commeth to nothing. They that seeke to roote out the Israel of God, do, as it were, set their naked shoulder, to remoue an huge rocke that will fall vpon them, and grinde them to powder, be they2 neuer so many: and therefore we haue little reason to be afraid of them.
