Fear not their adversaries, Answ. ¹though they be ten thousand to one: for God is their buckler, and the lifter up of their heads: he will smite all their enemies upon the cheek bone, and dash out their teeth, that seek to draw blood from his servants. All that hate Zion shall perish even as the grass that groweth upon the house top; which though it make a bragging show for a time, yet suddenly withereth and cometh to nothing. They that seek to root out the Israel of God, do, as it were, set their naked shoulder, to remove an huge rock that will fall upon them, and grind them to powder, ²be they never so many: and therefore we have little reason to be afraid of them.

Feare not their aduersaries, Answ. ¹though they be ten thousand to one: for God is their buckler, and the lifter vp of their heads: he will smite all their enemies vpon the cheeke bone, and dash out their teeth, that seeke to draw blood from his seruants. All that hate Sion shall perish euen as the grasse that groweth vpō the house top; which though it make a bragging shew for a time, yet suddenly withereth and commeth to nothing. They that seek to root out the Israell of God, doe, as it were, set their naked shoulder, to remoue an huge rock that will fall vpon them, and grinde them to powder, ²be they neuer so many: and therefore wee haue litle reason to be afraid of them.
