Theo. If children then of this age deserve now such judgement at the hands▪ of God if God will judge them in rigour, we may soon have an estimate, what vengeance we daily deserve at the hands of God, considering, that we have not this natural corruption only in us, which we call Original sin, and is in young children, but that which is more, we continually carry about with us the cursed and damnable fruits, by which, we incessantly provoke the heavy wrath and displeasure of God against us.

Tob. This example ought to teach us, ⟨image 108⟩to humble our selves unto the Lord our God,1 and incessantly pray unto him That he would not lead us into temptation, 2but deliver us from evil. And therefore we ought to be very watchful, and stand upon our guard, to the end he overtake us not upon the sudden. For, if this be so cruel an enemy unto young children, he sure, he will use no great courtesy unto us. And if GOD giveth him such liberty to hurt young children, out of doubt, he will never spare us, seeing that we have a great deal more deserved his fury and indignation, then young children?
Tob. This example ought to teach vs, ⟨image 108⟩
