Their Princes shall fall by the sword.
These were they who had the chief hand in the setting up of false worship, and in oppressing those that would not join with them: now God would reach these great ones. In times of battle Princes stand by secured at a distance, they have their Life guards, they put on others and think to be safe themselves, they will bring others into straights, and miseries and care not though thousands of them be slain at a fight, they ⟨p. 698⟩shall do well enough, but saith God, they shall not so escape in battle, Their Princes shall fall by the sword, it shall not distinguish them from others.
These were they who had the chief hand in the setting up of false worship, and in oppressing those that would not joyn with them: now God would reach these great ones. In times of battel Princes stand by secured at a distance, they have their Life guards, they put on others and think to be safe themselves, they will bring others into straights, and miseries and care not though thousands of them be slain at a fight, they ⟨p. 698⟩shall do well enough, but saith God, they shall not so escape in battel, Their Princes shall fall by the sword, it shall not distinguish them from others.
For the rage of their tongue.
