plageth them for a season, vntyll the tyme that she (which shall beare) haue borne: then shall the remnaunt of his brethren be c&obar;uerted vnto þe; children of Israel. He shall st&abar;de fast, note and geue fode in the note strength of the Lord, and in the victory of the name of the Lord his God: and when they be conuerted, he shall be magnified vnto the farthest partes of the worlde.

We shall bringe vp seuen shepherdes and .viii. princes vpon th&ebar;: these shall subdue the land of Assur &wt; the swerde, and þe; lande of note Nymrod with their naked weap&ebar;s. noteThus shal he deliuer vs from the Assirian, when he c&obar;meth within oure land, and setteth his fote within oure borders.

Thyne hand shalbe lift vp vpon thyne enemyes, and all thyne aduersaries shall perish.

D   The tyme shall come also, sayeth þe; Lord, that I will take thine horses from the, and destroye thy charettes. I wil breake downe the cityes of thy lande, and ouerthrowe all thy str&obar;ge holdes. noteAll witchcraftes wyll I rote oute of thyne h&abar;de, there shall no mo sothsayinges be within the. noteThine Idols and thyne Images will I destroye out of þe; so þt; thou shalt nomore bowe thy selfe vnto the worckes of thyne awne handes. Thy groues will I plucke vp by þe; rotes, ∧ breake downe þe; cities. Thus will I be auenged also, vp&obar; all þe; Heathen that will not heare.
