but rather the kingdom of God shall the more prosper and flourish unto the Israelites, and shall pass the sooner unto the elect of Christ Jesus: And they which shall so do, shall prove the grievous judgement of God, neither shall they escape without punishment, that be persecutors and murderers of the just. My well be loved, lift up your eyes, and consider the counsels of God. He showed unto us a late, an Image of his plague, which was to our correction. And if we shall not receive him, he will draw out his sword, and strike with sword, pestilence, and famine▪ the nation that shall rise against Christ. These have I written to your comfort, dear brethren. Pray for me, I kiss in my heart, with an holy kiss, my good masters, Siluius, Pergula, Justus, also Fidel Rock, and him that beareth the name of Lelia, whom I know, although being absent. Item, the governor of the University, Syndicus, & all other, whose names be written in the book of life. Farewell all my fellow servants of God: fare ye well in the Lord, & pray for me continually. From the delectable orchard of Leonine prison. 12. call. Aug. An. 1555.
