Matthew(i)
5 Wo be also vnto Assur, whiche is a staffe of my wrathe, in whose hande is the roade of my punishement.
6 For I shall send him among those ypocrytish people, amonge the people that haue deserued my disfauour shall I send him: that he maye vtterly robbe them, spoyle them, and tread them doune lyke the myre in the strete.
7 How be it, his meaninge is not so, neither thincketh his hert of this fasshion. But he ymagineth only, how he may ouerthrowe and destroye muche people,
8 for he sayth: are not my princes al kinges?
9 Is not Calno as easye to winne, as Charchamis? Is it harder to conquere Antiochia then Arphad? Or is it lyghter to ouercome Damascus then Samaria?
10 As wo say: I were able to winne the kingedome of the Idolatres and their Goddes, but not Ierusalem and Samaria.
11 Shall I not do vnto Ierusalem and their ymages, as I dyd vnto Samaria and their ymages?
