           is
           laid
           in
           Christ
           our
           Lord
           ;
           Let
           your
           enemies
           therefore
           feare
           and
           tremble
           as
           in
           the
           presence
           of
           the
           Lord
           ,
           for
           the
           justnesse
           of
           your
           cause
           heightens
           my
           belief
           of
           their
           Astonishment
           .
           And
           were
           it
           not
           for
           their
           present
           interest
           in
           ill
           gotten
           goods
           ;
           I
           dare
           positively
           affirm
           there
           were
           no
           Enemie
           to
           give
           you
           battel
           ,
           but
           the
           wonder
           is
           at
           an
           end
           in
           that
           such
           as
           these
           are
           foretold
           by
           that
           unerring
           Spirit
           in
           the
           Prophets
           and
           Apostles
           ,
           which
           saith
           ,
           
             That
             Covetousnesse
             is
             the
             root
             of
             all
             evil
             .
          
           In
           conclusion
           the
           forwardnesse
           of
           this
           dispatch
           is
           occasioned
           through
           great
           desires
           of
           yeelding
           any
           thing
           which
           may
           contribute
           to
           your
           Majesties
           consolation
           :
           Pure
           and
           intire
           affections
           are
           pardonable
           ,
           although
           hastilie
           scattered
           before
           Princes
           ,
           and
           in
           confidence
           of
           that
           I
           can
           as
           well
           hope
           for
           as
           plead
           my
           excuse
           .
