1Now followeth the hymn: salvation and glory, & honour, &c. And those things they praise in God, & ascribe unto him wholly. Whereof I spake in expounding the .4. and .5. chapt. of this book. Moreover they praise God, of that which in this cause is principal: for his judgements are just & true. Which saying seemeth worthy to be printed most deeply in the hearts of all men, as the which in temptations may not a little erect them. And wherefore the judgements of God be just and true, he addeth, because he hath judged the great whore: that is to say, taken worthy and condigne punishment of the great whore. Hitherto the Lord hath seemed to many over slow, and to much favourable to Rome, and the Romish church: but than shall they see that God is most just. Of the whore is spoken before.

Moreouer they prayse God, of that whiche in this cause is principall: for his iudgementes are iuste & true. Which saying semeth worthie to be printed moste depely in the hartes of al men, as the which in temptations maye not a little erecte them. And wherefore the iudgementes of God be iust and true, he addeth, because he hath iudged the great whore: that is to saye, taken worthie and condigne punnishment of the greate whore. Hitherto the Lorde hath semed to many ouer slowe, and to much fauourable to Rome, and the Romish church: but than shall they see that God is most iust. Of the whore is spoken before.

Yet doeth he repeat here again her most heinous and greatest sins. First corruption through whoredom and enchantment. Whereby is signified seducing by corrupt and wicked doctrine. The later, the shedding of the blood of holy Martyrs. Whereof we have already spoken many times. Therefore God punisheth the corruption of doctrine, and cruelty of the Romish church practised against the saints of God.
