Barrennesse.
THe Barrennesse of a woman that after a long time childeth signifieth vnto vs,* 1.1 that though Gods people be neuer so few, and the Church ne∣uer so small in number, yet God will multiplye and encrease it.
Our sinnes procure and prouoke God to make our fruitfull land barren.* 1.2 For when the earth de∣ceiueth vs and doth not yeelde her fruit, sure it is,* 1.3 because the inhabitants thereof haue trans∣gressed the lawe, chaunged the ordinaunces, and broken the euerlasting couenaunt,* 1.4 for then the heauen ouer vs shall be Brasse, and the earth vn∣der vs Yron.
