counsell of achitophell shall scater theirs. Marke whether it
be not true in the hyest degre / that for the sinne of the
people hypocrites shall rayne over them. What shewes / what
faces and contrarie pretenses are made / and all to stablish them in their thefte / falsehed and dampnable lyes / and to gather them to gether for to contryve sotiltye to oppresse the truth and to
stoppe the light & to kepe all still in darkenesse.
Wherfore it is tyme to awake and to se everye man with his awne
yies and to iudge / if we
will not be iudged of Christ when he cometh to
iudge. And remembre that he which is warned hath none excuse /
if he take no hede. Here with fare well in the lorde Iesus
Christ whose spirite be thy
gyde and doctrine thy light to iudge with all.
Amen.
