This verily, we see how this prophecy hath hit every thing rightly that went before: therefore is there left no place to doubt of the things ⟨p. 381⟩that follow. Let us consider moreover that most puissant kingdoms, which seem to men invincible, may of God be dissolved without any difficulty: let us therefore learn to fear God, and to walk in his commandments, and to despise these earthly things.
