On us, and so we become like another Germany: may it is to
be feared worse: For we have not only by our false Oaths
and Perjuries, brought the Vengeance of God on us by new
and unheard of Diseases, but insensed and invited all the Nations
of the World to be about our [unr] to take Revenge for
our Perfidiousnes to our lace Gracious King and His Royal
