Theol. We may well fear indeed, lest for our sins, especially our loathing of the heavenly Manna, the Lord remove our candlestick, take away our silver trumpets, let us no ⟨p. 150⟩more hear the sweet bells of Aaron, cause all vision to fail, and our Sabbaths to cease, and bring upon us that most grievous and sore famine of not hearing the word of the Lord,1 spoken of by Amos the Prophet. Then shall our Halcyon days and golden years, be turned into weeping, mourning, and lamentation. God for his infinite mercy sake turn it away from us.
