 H E firft view of this fma$ 
 booke may mooueyou right 
 honorable Sir, to deeme the 
 fame of fmall price if you me- 
 fure (as the common forte of 
 men do) the inward excellen- 
 cy by the outward appearacc. 
 Which thing I confeffe, at 
 the firft did fome thing flay 
 me from either the publishing or the exhibiting therof 
 vnto anye manne : much leffe durft I prefume to pre- 
 lent the fame vnto the fight of anye honorable per- 
 fonage.But when I more deepely considered the wif* 
 dome of godly men in our age , which iudge not the 
 conference all together by the coate, nor the booke by 
 thebynding, I then endeuored without cafting any 
 moe doubtes,to make that common to others, which 
 firft I priuately red for mine o wne commoditie . And 
 truly if there be any thing that firft moued methereto, 
 the ignoraunce together with the vanitieof many of 
 our own people was one,who being vtterly vnskilfulL 
 of God and godlinaSjdc^yet apply their myndes to the 
 vaine delightes of this flattering world , quite forget.

 ting both the iuftice of God which daily hangeth o~ 
 ucr them,and death which continually followeth and 
 fodainlyftriketh them, yea, and etcrnall deftru&ion 
 which gapeth wide for them , and hopeth in the ende 
 to fwallow them . It grieued me to fee what bakes are 
 laydforthembytheworld,death,andhell, (as pride 
 of lyfe,and contempt of gods worde)of purpofe to en- 
 tangle both their foules and bodies* As touching pride 
 of life,I nede not fpeake much thereofjit is to manifeft.

 Mtcb.s. infe£tedwithit? what nation is voyde of it? doe not 
 7{om,S» heauen and earth and all creatures grone and grieue at 
 it? do not all good men bewayle it,preachers crye out 
 of it,and God redy to punifli it? yes verily ♦ As for con- 
 • tempt of gods word,is it not in moft places found . Are 
 not the minifters contemned , their preachings difcre- 
 ditedj and their miniftery flcorned by papifts and Ruf- 
 fians, and olde cutters , called lufty and tall fellowes, 
 who can fweare out a matter at a pinch,and blafpheme 
 the facred name of God moft horriblie ? Are not pro- 
 phane Comedies and tragedies (moft of them beyng 
 monftrous lies ) with great pompe celebrated , when 
 *AmosJ* tne n °ty wor ^ e °f God tnc foode of our foules (being 
 Ma*»4« preached) ought with reuerence to be heard? it is cer- 
 tainly true* We haite right honorable in many places 
 the tables and tennis in fteede of the Teftament , the 
 cardes in fteede of the Catechifme,the boules in fteede 
 bf the Bible: yea and that more is,men think they haue 
 made a very good change. W : fee fome men befto we

 be godly: which being once printed, (mie for nothing 
 
 els but for wafte paper,acceptable to very few . It could 
 not therefore but grieue me, to fee thofe enemies of 
 mankinde,the World^Death^nd Hell, (6 preuaifehy 
 their flattering illufions, that they haue drawen after 
 them the mod parte of the people at this day , yea and 
 fought in time pait,euert in my yongeft yeres, to haue 
 , taken me in thofe their nettes together for company. 
 f '* * W hereupon,! determined amongeft others, to geue 
 them one blow more with the fword of the fpirit, the 
 word of God,according to my duty ,calling,& profefli 
 on,and to ring the Alarum bei together,with al godly 
 preachers , vnto our fleepie country men,aduertiiing 
 them of the approching of our deadly foes long agoi 
 defcriedby the fermons and writinges of the Martirs. 
 Once before this time I attempted by mineown booke 
 lately publifhed, toabandonethefecuririe ofthis our 
 nation: the L ord gf aunt that it hath any thmg-awaked 
 them . B ut no w the fecond ty me I haue can fed that EM- 
 u:ne Do&or of the Church, hbx Caluine y the Lordes 
 vigilant watchman jeuen in our owne tongue to found 
 the trumpe, if by this meanes eyther he or I may geue 
 them warning before their fall, to efchew thefe bay tes 
 of wily Sathan,who knoweth whether the Lordeby 
 this meanes wil open the eyes of fome men to fee their 
 owne finnes and to be fory for the fame ? But if they be 
 neuer the better,but rather the blynder,myconfeicnce 
 is difcharged,and thefe/ew lines fhalbe vnto their con- 
 fidences a witnefTe,that they arc from henceforth with 
 out excufe before the throne of God: And I feare there 
 
 will

 will beedenouncedagaynft them the iudgementes of cfcftinge 
 God, that it (hall be more eafie for the land otCatkaia tfjatmapin 
 
 at the laftday,then for them. For in this difcourfe they tbunoc. C * 
 might fee: 
 
 Firft,the finries of Niniueh,and in it their own finnes? 
 
 2. Againe,the mercy of God in fending Ion** vnto the 
 
 Uinwitts 9 being haynous offenders, and thereby fee 
 
 that the Lord is alfo mercifull vnto themfelues, that he 
 
 warneth them of their fall by his preachers. 
 
 3 Then the difobedience of Ipnas and his puniflnnent, Cofc&af * 
 and thereby may they fee a liuery image of the fattoijJJJtoSb 
 Gods children vnto finne , and Gods iuftice euen vp- Wc iliojf , 
 on his feruauntes , to the cnde to reclaime them a and 
 
 not to condemne them. 
 
 4 Alfo they might fee here the working of gods fp iritc 
 in Ioms , being in the bottom of the fea,and his deliue- 
 ry, and thereby might they learne, that God by puni- 
 fhing his feruantes,maketh them moreftrong,and tri- 
 cth their faith, and when they cry vnto him,he deliue- 
 reth them out of all their troubles . 
 
 5 And foagayne might they fee how feuerely tnms 
 preached vnto the Nmiuitts , (hauingno commimon 
 to entreat of Gods mercy vnto them) and yet that kind 
 of preaching wrought inthem repentauncc,beyng the 
 very ende why God Tent Ioyim vnto them (although 
 Jptas confidered it not) and alfo gods mercy in pardo- 
 ning their finnes. And by this might they learne, that 
 though God fpcake angerly vnto vs,yet he ncuer fpea- 
 keth fo , but for our profit, and will furely pardon our 
 iniquiti«,if wc from the hart repen t vs of the fame, 
 
 A.iiij. Laftly, 
 
The Epiftle Dedicatorye. 
 
 Laftly they might feehow I onas beyng once forge- 
 
 uen, yet eftfoone offended more grieuously, yea, and 
 
 murmured agaynft Gqiand yet God vanquifhed him 
 
 with reafon , and of his great mercy forgauehim alfo 
 
 thathis finne. And by this might they learn how fraile 
 
 the children oi God are, iftheybcnot frill gouerried 
 
 bygodsfpirite, andhowmercifullGodis vnto thofc 
 
 tha: be his,with manyother things moft neceflary for 
 
 all men . If they therefore negleft or contemne thefe 
 
 things ,let them know that they neglect die very word 
 
 of the lord and their faluation,and fo ptirchafe to'them 
 
 felues eternall death. The lord therefore for his mercy 
 
 fake,heale their blinde eyes, and helpe their vnbeliefe.

 to dedicate thefe my labours vnto you : I mult ncedes 
 
 anfwer that the fweete and comfortable matter therein

 that chief "e King , beingwrapped in adoute , thoulde be committed 
 to the en rth or hidden mtbegroande % but rather tranff erred to (he 
 monie cbaungers: which opinion trulie feemetb probable inough. Marlorat 
 
 Others woulde haue one lohn a certaine Elder to be the author 
 of this Epiille , becaufe m the title or infer'tption of the EpiBle^ he 
 calleth him fclfe not an tsfpo flic, but afenioror elder , Otherfome

 He wrote vnto a certaine Ladie,whoby her proper name, as mat

 of the authour of the former Epiftle : So alfo of 
 the writers ofthisEpift, they are not throughly 
 agrccd,which haue written Commentaries vpo 
 
 the fame . For there are, which afcribe it al wholic to lohn the 
 
 Euangelift,other to lohn a certainediuine,others to lohn an el- 
 
 dcr.But howfoeuer the matter is, it rnuft needes be fome godly 
 
 man, and faithfull miniller of Chrift in the dispenfation of the 
 
 word, which writcth of matters vcrie neccflarie vnto a certainc 
 
 feruauntofGod : vnto whome not without great ardencie of 
 
 Occume. £Tnn d e he comendeth ccrtaine brethren . And firft he praifeth 
 
 Gains vnto whom he writeth,of whofe hofpitalitie many gaue

 both in accompanying or bringingthe brcthre on their way,& 
 
 in gentlie entertaining them:and(that the exhortation may be 
 
 of the more eflfycaciejheaflfirmcth him which workctb wel,to 
 
 be of God. Again, fecondly,he sharplie touchcth 'Diotrepbes, & 
 
 accufeth him, for that neither he himfclfe gaue any thing to the 
 
 poore , and forbiddeth others fo to do , and alfo bableth forth 
 
 many cutl fpeaches .And by tliis he ftirreth vp Gmhs to perfe-
