Gods Curse follows the wicked close: sometimes in their birth; sometimes in the womb; and sometimes hindering the conception. You see how God hath us at advantage, how he hath us in his hand at every turn; he might if he had pleased smit us in our conception; if he had spared there, stifled us in the womb; if spared there, made us stick in the birth.

Wherefore learn we to acknowledge Gods mercy in the general,1 that he is patient,2 and long suffering, and gracious to us; let us consider at the several passages of his mercy, to bless God not only for our general preservation, but how he did preserve us in the very conception, preserves us in our mothers womb, and then in the birth, and then in the cradle, and in our childhood, in our youth, and in our middle age, in our old age, for we lie at his mercy at every point of time.
