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

That it seemeth his oration to have a doubt in it, truly notwithstanding ⟨p. clxii⟩that he was very well persuaded of God's mercy. For as Jonah proponed nothing but God's Ice, he maketh mention of his mercy.

That it semeth his oracion to haue a doute in it, truly notwythstandynge ⟨p. clxii⟩that he was verye well perswaded of goddes mercye. For as Ionas proponed nothynge but Goddes Ice, he maketh mencion of hys mercye.

The doubt he putteth: either to put away the sluggardness of his people, either to declare in him self the fight & battle that is always between the spirit, and the flesh about God's promises. We may say also that in desiring worldly things of GOD, we should ask them with a condition. Mat. viii.

The doute he putteth: eyther to put awaye the slugerdnes of hys people, eyther to declare in hym selfe the fyghte & battayle that is alwayes betwene the spyrite, and the flesh aboute Goddes promises. We maye saye also that in desirynge worldelye thynges of GOD, we shoulde aske theim wyth a condicyon. Mat. viii.

We may learn hear to put away despair, and trust to the Lords mercy, although he threaten never so much our destruction.

We maye learne heare to put awaye despayre, and trust to the Lords mercy, although he threaten neuer so much our distruccion.
