Ninthly, God hath broken the backs of others with whom §9he hath had a controversy. He hath had a controversy with Germany, and how hath he dealt with them? Thus he beginneth to deal with us. It is reported that in Germany when the war was but twenty or thirty miles off them, they went on in their trading and followed their businesses, buying and selling and hoped that they should be safe; so it is with us, Is not some part of England at this day as desolate as Germany it self?
Tenthly, Those that knew most of Gods mind, have been ⟨p. 10⟩§10so afraid of this controversy that they have fled for fear of the wrath of God, and we have slighted, jeered them for it, thought it was their foolish timorousness and melancholy conceit; The Lord now seems to justify their fear.
