THE ARGVMENT.
As they of Nineueh shewed them selues prompt and readie to receiue the worde of God at Ionahs
preaching, and so turned to the Lord by repentance: so after a certaine time rather giuing them selues
to worldly meanes to encrease their dominion, then seeking to continue in the feare of God, & trade wherin
they had begun, they cast off the care of religion, and so returned to their vomite, and prouoked Gods
iust iudgement against them, in afflicting his people. Therefore their citie Nineueh was destroyed, and
Meroch-baladan King of Babel (or as some thinke Nebuchad-nezzar) enioyed the empire of the Assyrians. But because God hath a continuall care of his Church, he stirreth vp his Prophet to comfort the
godly, shewing that the destruction of their enemies should be for their consolation. And as it seemeth, he
prophecied about the time of Hezekiah, and not in the time of Manasseh his sonne, as the Iewes write.

Gods mightie power.
