Who art by Gods righteous and irrevocable Sentence devoted to certain destruction.
As being Gods instrument to vindicate his honour, and execute his just judgments, and fulfil his counsel and word: which Cyr[illegible: 1+ letters]s was to his own great glory and advantage, as appears both from sacred and profane History.
That shall use thee with equal cruelty.
