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

The city is called great unto God, that is to say every great city, as the Cedar of God, the mount of God. &c. Or else it is called the city of God, for the wonderful respect and pity that the Lord had in the saving of it. Whether the city were three days Journey about, or else three days space to visit all the ⟨p. cxii⟩streets thereof, it is not agreed yet upon among all writers: but this we know it was a notable city, and among all cities in the East of most famous report.

The cytye is called greate vnto God, that is to saye euerye greate cytye, as the Cedre of God, the mounte of God. &c. Or else it is called the cytye of God, for the wonderfull respecte and pitye that the Lorde had in the sauinge of it. Whether the cytye were thre dayes Iournye aboute, or else thre dayes space to vysytte all the ⟨p. cxii⟩streates thereof, it is not agreed yet vpon amōg al wryters: but this we knowe it was a notable cytye, and amonge al cytyes in the Easte of mooste famous reporte.

Now it followeth what Jonah did after he entered into the city.

Nowe it foloweth what Ionas dyd after he entrede into the cytie.

When Jonah had entered the city one days journey, he cried and saved: within this xl. days Nineveh shall be destroyed.

When Ionas hadde entred the cytye one dayes iournye, he cried and saued: within this xl. dayes Niniue shall be destroyed.
