An oversight, and deliberation upon the holy prophet JonahAn ouersight, and deliberacion vpon the holy prophete Ionas

This is the way: if they take the admonitions and the admonitors gently and rail not against them, neither wink at their own faults: but with a true repentance of the hart follow this our Prophet Jonah, who confessed his fault, and humbly asked remission & pardon for the same. So shall every sinner be saved as he was according to the oath of God Eze. xviii. As truly as I live saith the Lord, I will not the death of a sinner, but that he be converted and live. This counsel of the Lord except our troublous Jonasses follow they shall be drowned in the water of eternal damnation, with Pharaoh. But as heretofore ye have heard how Jonah ⟨image 80⟩for his disobedience was punished: so now out of the text ye shall hear how he repenting his misbehaviour and offences, is preserved in his dangers: how he prayeth, and at last how he is delivered. And that I may the better & more plainly teach and open the same, I will deuyde the text that followeth into four parts. The first part containeth the behaviour and doings of the shipmen, after they had caste Jonah into the sea. The second part containeth how Jonah being cast into the sea was received into the belly of the whale. The third containeth the behaviour and doings of Jonah in the whales belly.

Thys is the way: if they take the admonicions and the admonitours gētly and raile not agaynste them, neither wynke at their own faultes: but with a true repentaunce of the hart folowe thys our Prophet Ionas, who confessed hys faulte, and humblye asked remyssion & pardō for the same. So shal euery sīner be saued as he was accordinge to the othe of God Eze. xviii. As truly as I lyue sayth the Lord, I wyl not the deathe of a synner, but that he be conuerted and lyue. Thys counsell of the Lorde excepte our troblous Ionasses folow thei shalbe drowned in the water of eternal damnacion, with Pharao. But as heretofore ye haue hearde howe Ionas ⟨image 80⟩for hys disobedience was punyshed: so now out of the texte ye shal hear how he repenting hys mysbehauiour and offences, is preserued in hys daungers: howe he prayeth, and at last how he is delyuered. And that I maye the better & more playnely teache and open the same, I wyll deuyde the texte that foloweth into foure partes. The fyrst part conteineth the behauiour and doyngs of the shyppemen, after they had caste Ionas into the sea. The second part conteyneth howe Ionas beyng cast into the sea was receaued into the bely of the whale. The thyrde conteyneth the behauioure and doynges of Ionas in the whales bely.
