Conqueresse who shall not feare the beast and worship his image or take his marke in his forehead or right hand But the Lord caused the knife to stay that was so neare the throat and made the Ramme that pushed at you to be taken in the thicket of his owne deuises and to be a ransome for the innocent Lambs of his flock be wise hereafter as serpents thinke not they haue done Beware the dogge that barketh not who said they shall not know nor see vntil we come into the midst of them and slay them doe you blesse and honour this God of your life and beliefe adorne his glorious Gospel in your selues and families so much the more praise him and magnifie him for euer O Ye wealthie fat ones of the world who haue gathered siluer as dust and gold as stones that haue grace and place fauours and honours aboue others Mannors and demeanes and children and call the lands and houses by your names that haue ships and shops and store-houses and ware-houses and wealth laide vp for many yeares Loe in one moment your soule gone whose should all these haue beene how quickly should all haue been turned returned and ouerturned in an houre therefore let thi teach you not to trust in vncertaine riches

know is farre greater honour and pleasure for the creature to bee ioyned with the Creator who is blesse for euer Learne in all your pleasures and contentments to remember this Lord who speaketh suddainly of a parliament a kingdome a nation a citie a towne a family a man a woman to pluck vp to roote out to destroy as suddainly as the Potter dasheth in pieces a vessell of clay despise not counsell refuse not instruction neglect not the riches of Gods bountifulnes and long suffering which loueth not to take you tardie and at aduantage to vndoe you in the Act of your sinnes but leadeth you to repentance harden not therefore your hearts nor heape not vp wrath against the day of wrath and the declaration of the iust iudgement of God who wil reward euery one according to his works put not off from day to day for you know not how nor when nor by what meanes he commeth and when he commeth hee commeth as a whirle-winde and laugheth at the destruction of the vngodly Be sober therefore and watch blesse you the Lord praise him and magnifie him for euer O Yee desperate refractarie malecontents and irreligious Atheists that looked for a troublous time to fish in as in middle waters for
