FIRST, That as God had appointed him to be a preacher of his word, so also he would give him grace to stand to his doctrine until his death, that he might give his heart's blood for the same.
SECONDLY. That God of his mercy would restore his gospel to England once again; and these words Once again, Once again, he did so inculcate and beat into the ears of the Lord God, as though he had seen God before him, and spoken to him face to face.
