¶ A viewe of the seconde Admonition.
In this parte these wordes of theirs would be well considered,* 1.1 there is no other thing to be looked for, than some speedie vengeance to lighte vpon the whole lande, prouide as well as the politike Macheuils of Englande thinke they can, though God doe his worste: It woulde be knowne whome they meane by these politike Macheuils: for they enuy all men of great authoritie, witte, and pollicie.

You shall 〈◊〉〈◊〉 both that you ought to haue sought the kingdome of God first, and also you shall finde, if 〈◊〉〈◊〉 consider not your owne wayes in your hearts, howe you thinke it a tyme to buylde seeled hou∣ses,
