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

After the receiving of it, there should be thanks giving of all the church, for y• benefits of Christs death. ⟨image 157⟩There should be prayer made unto god, that they might persevere, and continue in the grace of God received.

I pray God the best may be taken, and the worst left, through out all the world. And all such as be yet infirm by reason of long custom, and lack of knowledge, let them pray God, and search the scriptures, without affection.

Suche as be peruerse and obstinate, and wyll admyt no reason, for them the ire and dyspleasure of God is readye
