that the Kings maiestie would not hazarde himselfe in the presence of such
notorious witches, least therby might haue insued great danger to his
person and the generall state of the land, which thing in truth might wel
haue bene feared. But to answer generally to such, let this suffice: that
first it is well knowen that the King is the child & seruant of God, and
they but seruants to the deuil, hee is the Lords annointed, and they but
vesselles of Gods wrath: he is a true Christian, and trusteth in God, they
worse than Infidels, for they onely trust in the deuill, who daily serue
them, till he haue brought them to vtter destruction. But heereby it
seemeth that his Highnesse carted a magnanimious and undanted mind, not
feared with their inchantmentes, but resolute in this, that so long as God
is with him, hee feareth not who is against him. And trulie the whole
scope of this treatise dooth so plainely laie open the wonderfull
prouidence of the Almightie, that if he had not bene defended by his
omnipotencie and power, his Highnes had neuer returned aliue in his voiage
fro Denmarke, so that there is no doult but God woulde as well defend him
on the land as on the sea, where they pretended their damnable practise._
