Transcribed from a dated scan; artifacts may remain. Edition notes

Let us then be obedient to his most holy and glorious name, and escape the threats which have Goes, spoken by wisdom aforetime to the disobedient, that we may tabernacle in confidence on the most sacred name of his majesty.

Receive our counsel, and there shall be nothing for you to regret, for as God lives and as the Lord Jesus Christ lives and the Holy Spirit, the faith and hope of the elect, he who with lowliness of mind and eager gentleness has without backsliding performed the decrees and commandments given by God shall be enrolled and chosen in the number of those who are saved through Jesus Christ, through whom is to him the glory for ever and ever. Amen.
