3.1 The godly are happie in their death,
3.5 and in their troubles;

10.17 and the Israelites.
11.1
11.5 The Egyptians were punished, and the Israelites reserued in the same thing.

14.23 And the effects thereof.
14.30 God will punish them that sweare falsely by their Idols.
15.1 We doe acknowledge the true God.
15.7 The follie of Idole-makers,
15.14 and of the enemies of Gods people:
15.15 because besides the idoles of the Gentiles,
15.18 they worshipped vile beasts.
16.1
16.2 God gaue strange meate to his people, to stirre vp their appetite, and vile beasts to their enemies to take it from them.
16.5 Hee stung with his serpents,
16.12 but soone healed them by his word onely.
