Do what you will: shall the words of the Lord be
made void? shall the gospel be of account no
longer? Certainly not; but the kingdom of God shall
be only the more precious and sweet to the true Israelites,
and come the sooner to the chosen of Jesus
Christ. But they who do such things, shall experience
the great judgment of God. They that kill the
righteous shall not escape unpunished. 2 Thessalonians
1:6.

551

O most beloved, lift up your eyes, and take to
heart the counsel of God. Not long ago the Lord
showed you a sign of pestilence, in order to lead you
to repentance; but if this will not be received, he
will unsheathe the sword entirely, and smite with the
sword, pestilence and famine the people which exalts
the horn against Christ. May God, through his
mercy, avert this scourge from this place. To all believers
their most zealous servant, the imprisoned
and bound Algerius.

Written in the most delightful pleasure garden of
the prison, called Leonia, the 12th of July, A. D.
1557.[268](/en/stories/mm-footnotes/part-15/#Footnote_268)
