An exposition with practical observations continued upon the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh chapters…

And as you have examples of this in the Scripture, so there is also an example or two in History which are exceeding full for this purpose. I suppose that is known unto you of Rodolphus, who having set his hand to a Covenant with Henry the fourth which he afterward brake, and his right hand coming to be cut off, his conscience accused him, Oh saith he, This is that right hand that subscribed the Covenant, and now God revengeth the breach of it upon this right hand. But above all that is the most remarkable that is in the History of the Hungarians, concerning Udislaus the King of Hungary, and Amurath the great Turk; they report that Udislaus making war with Amurath, having before promised the contrary; in a battle between them the Turk had the worst of it, AMURATH being there and having with him the Covenant made between the King of Hungary and him, and seeing himself put to the worst, he plucked forth the Covenant out of his bosom and with his eyes fixed toward Heaven he speaks thus, This Oh Jesus Christ is the Covenant that thy Christians have struck with me, O holy Jesus they have done it in thy Name and sworn by thy Majesty, and yet they have violated it, they have perfidiously denied their God; Now Oh Jesus if thou beest a God as they say and as we guess thou art, revenge this wrong that is done unto me and unto thy ⟨p. 29⟩self upon these that have violated their faith and promise, and do thou show unto us that do not know thy Name that thou art an avenger of such as betray their trust, and then we shall know thee to be a God.
