we see by the corrections which thou hast aheadie used towardes us,<br />
that we have given thee great occasion to be displeased with us :<br />
for seing that thou art a just and upright Judge, it cannot be without<br />
cause that thou punishest thy people. Wherefore, for asmuche<br />
as we have felt thy stripes, we acknowledge that we have justly<br />
stirred up thy displeasure against us, yea, and yet we se thine hand<br />
lifted up to beate us afresh : for the roddes and weapons wherewith<br />
thou art accustomed to execute thy vengeance, are alreadie in thine<br />
hand ; and the threatnings <strong>of</strong> thy wrath, which thou usest against<br />
the wicked sinners, be in ful readines.<br />
Now though thou shuldest punish us much more grievouslie then<br />
thou hast hitherto done, and that, whereas we have received one<br />
stripe, thou wouldest give us an hundreth : yea, if thou wouldest<br />
make the curses <strong>of</strong> thine Oulde Testament which came then upon<br />
thy people Israel, to fall upon us, we confesse that thou shouldest<br />
do therein very righteously, and we can not denie but we have fully<br />
deserved the same.
