Thus dothe the lorde God shewe and aduenge him selfe of all violent and tyrannous pryde and presumpcion of them, whiche perswade them selues that there is no God but they, or els that he hath no care of those thinges that are vpon earth. Wheras it is euident and manifest out of gods worde what hathe alwayes bene the ende of all proude and presumptuous kyngdoms. Whiche the spiritualtye should best haue knowen and haue taught other also. And spe∣ciallye he that hath had, and woulde haue suche a byshoprike. And woulde also kepe it vntyll he shoulde peryshe together with it because he hathe not ordered him selfe therin after the wil of god nor after the right rule and square of gods worde and of holy scripture, nor hath not done that thinge that his offyce and vocacion hath required as he ought to haue done, as it is euident vnto all men. They haue desyred and studyed onely to haue great power and dominion vpon y• whole earth, & in all nacions and yles, onely for honour and gayne, with very small studye or dilygence to rule the worlde well and godlye, or to further gods honour and the saluacion of the soule onely. And for this cause doeth all the worlde wonder at suche a great and horrible fall. And they that seke & study after dignite honour and auctorite, & after worldly lucre, they tremble for feare and mourne and bewayle the heuy iudgement of God and their worldly hyn∣derance. But the holy and faithfull whiche not onely vpon earth regarde and seke the honour and glorye of God, whiche they doe chefely desyre but also in heauen, whiche haue the fruicion and perfyght syght and knowledge of the rightuousnes of God, they prayse God hartely for the rightuous iudgement whiche is reueled vnto the worlde.
