Let thy care be to prepare thy self with 1all thy strength, for to walk which way he will have thee, and to believe that he will go with thee, & assist thee, and strengthen thee against all tyrants, & deliver thee out of all tribulation. But what way, or by what means he will do it, that commit unto him, and his godly pleasure, and wisdom, and cast that care upon him. And though it seem never so unlikely, or never so impossible unto natural reason, yet believe steadfastly that he will do it: and then shall he (according to his old use) change the course of the world, even in the twinkling of an eye, and come suddenly upon our Giants, as a thief in the night, and con pass them in their wiles, and worldly wisdom, when they cry peace, & all is safe, then shall their sorrows begin, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth with child: and then shall he destroy them, and deliver thee, unto the glorious praise of his mercy and truth. Amen.

But what way, or by what meanes he will do it, that committe vnto him, and his godly pleasure, and wisedome, and cast that care vpon him. And though it seeme neuer so vnlikely, or neuer so impossible vnto naturall reason, yet beleue stedfastly that he will do it: and then shall he (according to his olde vse) chainge the course of the worlde, euen in the twinckling of an eye, and come sodenly vpon our Gyantes, as a theefe in the night, and cō passe them in their wyles, and worldly wisedome, when they crye peace, & all is safe, then shall theyr sorrowes beginne, as the panges of a woman that traueileth with childe: and then shall he destroy them, and deliuer thee, vnto the glorious prayse of hys mercy and truth. Amen.
