And although the Jews were a wicked & a stiff necked people, yet there were some good men among them whom the Prophets call a remnant, like the gleaning after harvest, or like a cluster of grapes on the top of the vine after the vintage. And these must be remembered in mercy, because of the covenant made unto their fathers. So among them that went into captivity, there was Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. And so all do not kneel to Bell, for they whom the Lord preserveth do not.
And although the Iewes were a wicked & a stiffe necked people, yet there were some good men amōg them whom the Prophets call a remnant, like the gleaning after haruest, or like a cluster of grapes on the top of the vine after the vintage. And these must be remembred in mercie, because of the couenant made vnto their fathers. So among them that went into captiuitie, there was Shidrach, Misach, and Abednego. And so all do not kneele to Bell, for they whom the Lord preserueth do not.
The Lord because of his covenant doth always provide for his chosen, although there be never so great calamity or trouble, as we see in the book of Genesis 45. chapt. 1when there was a great time of dearth and scarcity to come upon the land where Jacob was, then the Lord sent Joseph to provide for his father Jacob, least he should want bread, he or any of his sons, and folks, and so ordered the matter, that Joseph was treasurer over all the corn in Egypt. And so among the Turks and the Spaniards and infidels, the Lord will find means to do them good which unfeignedly love him, and in the dungeon, & in the prison, and in bonds, yea and in death, the godly shall find God.
The Lord because of his couenant doth alwayes prouide for his chosen, although there be neuer so great calamitie or trouble, as we see in the booke of Genesis 45. chapt.
