And even as the miseries of this life, the spoiling I say of goods, banishments, wounds & torments are very grievous to the flesh when they are pondered by themselves: so when they are conferred with the anger of god & everlasting death, into that which we incur by reason of our sins, they may most rightly be esteemed small things, for that these are most grievous. Wherefore when we consider how the Jews were delivered from outward ⟨p. 3⟩miseries: Let us call to remembrance, those most great evils, from which Christ of his singular goodness hath delivered us. And when as the children of Israel do oftentimes escape by judges out of their afflictions, they do as it were point with their finger Christ unto us, raised up from the dead, they show unto us also the last resurrection of the saints, wherein they shall be altogether delivered from all afflictions & infirmities. Wherefore as well this book as also other holy histories, do with much profit admonish the readers of Christ and his members.
And euen as the miseries of thys lyfe, the spoyling I say of goods, banishments, woūdes & torments are very greuous to the flesh whē they are pondred by themselues: so when they are conferred wt the anger of god & euerlasting death, into yt which we incurre by reason of our sinnes, they may most rightly be estemed small thinges, for that these are most greuous. Wherfore when we consider how the Iewes were deliuered frō outward ⟨p. 3⟩miseries: Let vs call to remembraunce, those most great euils, frō which Christ of his singular goodnes hath deliuered vs. And when as the children of Israell do oftentimes escape by iudges out of their afflictiōs, they do as it were point with their finger Christ vnto vs, raised vp from the dead, they shew vnto vs also ye last resurrectiō of the saints, wherin they shal be altogether deliuered from al afflictiōs & infirmities. Wherfore as wel this booke as also other holy histories, do wt much profit admonish the readers of Christ and his members.
And because I think I have spoken enough already of the matter and subject of this book. I will now go to declare the form of the writing thereof.
