Secondly,1 It may be a great comfort unto the Churches and Saints of Christ, that have been overcome, or have suffered any hard-ship from any of these. Those that have been troublesome to Gods Churches and people, the Lord will one day visit them all, and he will one day root them out of the land of the living.
