✚ A faithful & true pronostication upon the year. M. CCCCC. xlix. and perpetually after to the worlds end gathered out of the prophecies and scriptures of god, by the experience and practise of his works, very comfortable for all Christian hearts divided into seven chapters. And in the end ye shall find an almanac for ever, translated newly out of high Almāyne into english by Miles Coverdale.   

THe first chapter of genesis declareth how that at the beginning when the water was now in his place, God said: Let the earth bring forth green grass and herb, that beareth seed, and fruitful trees, that may bear fruit every one after his kind. etc. Genesi, i And so it came to pass afterward upon the forth day made he lights in the firmament of heaven, one grater light for the day, & a less for the night, namely the Son and the Moon, and made them to be tokens, and not to have influence upon these nethermost bodies. as the Philosophers & our prognosticators have written hither to. Contrary unto it the god sayeth. here, how that they should be unto tokens, & how that the earth was fruitful or ever the stars & lights were made.  
Now where as they show any thing that is his doing, and not theirs, he only doth great wonders. Psal. c xxxv. he covereth the sky with clouds, he prepareth rain for the earth, & maketh the grass to grow upon the mountains. Psal. c xlvi. therefore are not they the cause of tempests or storms, neither of good wethers or fruitfulness in these nethermost creatures, whether it be in man, be'st, or fruit: but are tokens only, For the which cause God doth oft warn us in the law. Leuiti twenty Deut. xviii And in the prophets jere xxvii Esa. xlvii that we should regard no heaven gazer no beholder of stars, nor soythsayer because they have no power to change the time nor that courle of heaven  
wherefore me think it a foolish thing, that we are so afraid where no fear should be, and that we regard so many vain prognostications. why do not we rather rejoice, in so much as all things are in God's hand, and governed by jesus Christ. Must not all things be subdued unto him i  
Cor xu Heb, two, Can any creature of his, work otherwise then he will have it Or how so ever they work, do not all things turn to our best No doubt Put thou thy trust then in god, and be sure, that as long as he is thy friend (which he hath promised to be if thou love him & his word) there can nothing harm the. And as for the plagues that shall hap this year unto that persecutors and enemies of God's word, (if thou cleave unto it) thou needest not fear them nor be afraid of them, but certainly mayst thou look to be partaker not only of his outward blessings this year, but of the joy for to come, which is everlasting.  

The first chapter concerning the governors of this year.  
When I look well & consider the hy master of the stars in his doctrine & writing, 
Christi. the gospel's the world.  I find the this year and from hence forth unto the end of the world, the Sun, Mars & Marcurius shall reign Now where as other men seek their speaculation out of the stars that do not I regard so much as experience in the doctrine of Christ. And for the exhortation and warning of all estates, I will describe the nature and properties of these three governors.  
The Soon a mighty Lord over heaven and earth, is Isesus Christ our only redeemer and saviour, in all thiges like unto his heavenly father Psal, two. Io xiiii the brightness of his glory. Sap. vii Heb. i the image of the invisible god: by whom all things that are in heaven and earth, were created, things visible and things invisible, whether they be majesties or lordships, either rules or powers, Col. i This jesus Christ the everlasting word of his heavenly father, which took our nature upon him. Heb, two Phil. ii & showed us his father's will, coming into this world, brought with him Mars that is the gospel, 
The go● is called Mars.  even one of the bosom of his father. But wonder not thou that I call the gospel Mars. Christ our saviour saith in Mathewe, Think not that jam come to send peace upon earth, I came not to send peace, but a sword, For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter aginste her mother. etc. and a man's foes shallbe they of his own household. Mat ten Luce xii Michee vii Is not this a battle They shall put you to trouble sayeth he and kill you, and of all people shall ye be hated for my name's sake. 
●ersecuti●● folo●●eth the gospel's.  Mat xxiiii Therefore may the gospel well be called Mars, for where it is preached there is the sword, there is trouble and persecution, there will the enemies sometime draw their daggers at the preachers thereof.  
As for Mercurius, the Poetes say him to be the messenger & orator of the Neithen goddess, for the which cause he may well be likened unto the world, which which eloquence, painted words & outward appearance performeth the message of the devil, & enticeth men so long, till it bring them into destruction. But (as saint John saith in his epistle) the world passeth away & the lust thereof i to ii And as S. Paul sayeth. The fashion of this world passeth away i. Cor vii Therefore must we so hold us within the fear of god the we suffer not ourselves to be deceived or seduced by Mercurius from the son & Mars, Lest we be corrupt with this dsceytful world & so be defrauded of the ioi of the ever lasting world to come, neither should that painted wisdom of this world move us, in somuch as god maketh it very foolishness i Cor i & his word (which seemeth to be but foolishness in the sight of the world that showeth he to be only wisdom and the very power of god, to the salvation of as many as believe thereon. Roma i  
who so ever now hath the grace to perceive and consider this, let him not go after Mercurius, let him not follow the world and the beautiful lustres thereof, let him not enter in at the wide gate and broad way that leadeth unto destruction. Mathe vii but let him go in at the strait gate, and at the narrow way, which is even jesus Christ. Ioh. xiiii the only mercyseat. Rom. iii & mean to come by the favour of nn1. By him who soever entereth, he may be sure to be saved. Ioh. ten to receive mercy, to find grace, & to be helped in the time of need. Hebre .v. which god the father grant us for his sake. Amen.   

❧ The second Chapter, concerning the increase or growing of fruits, and the dearth of the same.  
THe son showeth plainly: that all such as fear god, shall have a very fruitful year. Psal. c▪ xxvii. & plenteousness in the days of dearth. Psal. xxxvi In so much that though Christ send them without wallet, without scripe & with out shoes, yet will he so provide for them that they shall lack no thing. Luce xxii For he sayeth himself: The labourer is worthy of his meat. Math ten Luc ten who so now will labour, shall eat. But who so ever will not work, 
Sturdy 〈◊〉 fellows she not eace.  ought out to eat, two Tessal, iii.  
Now if we labour, I say, we shall eat also. Ye but where shall we get it? Christ our saviour saith: Be not ye careful for your life, what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink, nor yet for your body what ye shall put on. Is not the life more worth than meat, and the body more of value then raiment? Behold the souls of the air, for they sow not, neither reap, nor yet carry into the barns, and yet your heavenly father feedeth them▪ math vi. He giveth meat to the young caves. Psa. c xlvi he openeth his hand and filleth his creatures with plenteousness. Psal. c iii  

●e aught 〈◊〉 labour ●●th our ●andes and 〈◊〉 cast our are upon the Lord.  Therefore though our hands should always be occupied in some good labaure. Eph four yet ought not our hearts to take thought what we shall eat or drink, but first to care how to seek the king doom of god. math. vi & so should all things necessary be ministered unto us. And why? Man, liveth not, by bred only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of god. duty viii math iiii. which thing Christ our save our hath manifestly declared, in that he fed so many people with so few loaves & fishes, like as he had done afore unto the children of Israel by the space of forty years in the wilderness, where they wanted nothing, for he himself fed them, & blessed them in all the works of their hand. wherefore in so much as god our merciful father taketh such care for us (i Pe v.) we should by right cast all our care upon him, & fathfully to cleave unto his word in our hearts; so the we neither mistrust his godly provision, nor lead an idle life. And if we mean well in our hearts, and deal truly with our hands, doubtless he shall send us necessary meat by some body, as he did to Elias the prophet by the widow in Sarepta iii Re. xvii and like as he provided a break fa●t unto Daniel among the Lions by the ministration of Abacuc. Da● xiiii, Thus, I say, they that fear god▪ shall have plenty and abundance of all things this year,  
But so far as I can see or perceive By this theological astronomy, Mars threateneth a very evil and unfruitful year to diverse spiritual prelate's, as popish bishops, & popish priests, & other more, except the son thorough his gracious influence be good unto them, although Mercurius reign in them with never so many horces, great pomp, authority, riches, oppression, with exceeding many servants and dogs, which nevertheless if they will forsake their a●●sions, and diet themselves after the qualities of the Son, they shall be kept fro many diverse fur fettes, and have a very fruitful year in all things. And so would I council them to do. For Mars goeth about now this year, to withdraw from the spiritualty the excess of their fruits, riches, and worldly authority (like as he hath threatened them this great while) & intendeth plainly to reform them, And where as their whoredom & old custom withstand the furtherance of the truth Mars purposeth to take the Son to help, and with the plaster of marriage to heal the infirmity of their uncleanness, ye and with his own sword of the spirit, to subdue their old evil customs,  
As for the multitude of the ungodly in general, there shall come a great dearth upon them, according to the words of a certain true a●conomer, Behold, the time cometh (sayeth the lord god) that I shall send an hunger into the earth, not the hunger of bred, nor the thirst of water, but an hunger to hear the word of the lord, so that they shall go from the one see to the other, ye from the north unto that east, running about to seek the word of the lord and shall not find it. Amos viii but because they will not believe the truth and have pleasure in unrighteousness, therefore shall God send them strong delusion that they may believe lies ii Tess ii so that the time shall come when they shall desire to see one day of the son of man, and shall not see it. Luce xvii I pass over many other plagues that Mars threateneth unto them, because they will not know the time of their visitation. Luce xix   

¶ The third Chapter concerning the sicknesses and disceases of this year.  
THe Egyptians had a manner and use in their banckettes, to carry about an image of death▪ and to say unto every man that was at the banquet, Look upon this, eat, drink and be merry, such one shalt thou be when thou diest.  
And this they did (no doubt) to put men in remembrance of temperauncy and of death, lest they undiscreetly thorough excess of eating and drinking, should happen to die afore their age, for so doth god use to punish such sin? wherefore if we diet and temper ourselves thorough the influence of the son, we shall have few diseases, except Mars bring some other thing to pass, that we mysknowe not ourselves.  
As for such as follow Mercurius, living night and day in riot and uncleanness, these (I say) shall thorough the Son have great diseases in all the members of the body, in the lungs, liver, hands and seat, yea and parel also of the soul, I pass over the poverty that drunkards and riotous persons shall have? woe shall be unto them? sorrow, strife, brawling, & wounds shall be among them.  
Pro xxiii yea and such as will needs be overladen with excess of eating and with drunkenness. etc. shall suddenly be prevented with the day of the Lord. Luce xxi  
There is doubtless a marvelous sore punishment to come upon the hole world of the wicked, sword wars, hunger, not only spiritual (as I said before) but temporal, which plagues have been afore our time, but are not yet all paste. I need not rehearse the pestilence and other great plagues that god will send to the reformation of as many as shall be warned. As for the common sort of the ungodly, there shall such a fearfulness of death come upon them that they shall not tell where to turn them nor how to escape death. O how bitter and grievous shall the remembrance of death be this year, to such as seek rest and consolation in transitory substance of this world, to such as know of no adversity but have good days, and live in▪ voluptuousness. Eccle. xli But O death how acceptable & welcome shalt thou be unto such as are in adver site, in their last age, or in despair▪  
Who so ever thou be therefore the woldeste escape the sicknesses of this year, beware that thy body be not overladen with over much eating or with drunkenness, 
man is out 〈◊〉.  Luc xxi. For excess of meats bringeth sickness. and gluttony cometh at the last to an unmeasurable heat, Eccle, xxxvii, Thorough gluttony shall many one perish this year, but he that dyeteth him sell e temperately, shall prolong his life As for unsatiable eaters, they shall not only sleep unquietly this year, but shall have ache & pain of the body. Eccle. xxxi  
Concerning the spiritual disease and sickness that shall reign this year, as it hath done afore time▪ Pault one of the truest Astronomers saith plainly, that we be all sinners. Ro iii if we say that we have no sin, we deceive our selves, and the truth is not in us i. Io i This is now the spiritual disease that shall commonly reign this year, 
sin is 〈◊〉 in them will no a know of it  but specially in them that feal least of it, and will not knowledge it. Io ix For the Son hath such virtue, that who so ever can. see this disease, and will complain of it i Ioh. i, it shall cleanse them, and make them whole. ye the astronoemer saith plainly, that Christ jesus came into the world to save sinners i Timon i And an other that warneth us in his pronostication to beware of this sickness, giveth us yet good comfort and saith: If any man sin, we have an advocate with the father even jesus Christ which is righteous. and he it is that obtaineth grace for our sins, not for our sins only. but also for the sins of the whole world i Ioh. ii  
Who soever therefore hath this disease as there is no man without it let him do wisely▪ let him prove and examen himself by times i Cor xi two. Cor xiii 
man is ●rt sin  And go to physic afore he be to see or sick. Eccle. xviii And above all things let him beware of such false surgeons and feigned phisicyans, as heal the hurt of the people with sweet words. Iere vi and as a true Astronomer reporceth) thorough sweat preachings and flattering words deceive the hearts of inocentes, and all for their belies sake. Rom. xvi  
Soch false physicians lay wrong plasters to men's sores, and speak the meaning of their own eherte, but not out of the mouth of the lord Jere xxiii yea they make such as despise the word of god, to continue scill in their dregs. Soph. i, and to do as their fathers have done before them to their utter destruction. jerm xliiii For such false Phisians, as long as they have any thing to bite upon, preach unto men that all shall be well, Michee: iii. and mayntaint them in their wickedness, making them believe to do as their el●ers have done before them, though it be contrary to goose word, is the right way. Tusihe, say they, ye shall prosper right well. Ier. xxiii And unto all them that walk after the lust of thyer own heart, they say: tush, there shall no misfortune happen unto you. ye shall see no sword, there shall no hunger come upon you. Iere xiiii But if a man put not something in their mouths, they preach of war against him. mic iii wherefore if thou wilt be hole of thy disease, bewa● of such feigned Phicians, at whom if thou seek health they shall make the pay double for it, 
●w aere of use phisici us  that shall never do the good, but go thou boldly unto him, which only healeth the contrite in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. Psal. c xlvi He shall not cast the away. Ioh. vi But if thou come unto him, he shall refresh thee, he shall ease the. Math▪ xi. if thou be sick, go unto him for he is the right Physician for such as are diseased. Math ix if thou be thirsty, and comest unto him, he hath the water of life for the. Ioh. four if thou be anhungered after righteousness, thou shalt be satisfied. Mat .v. Summa he himself will feed thee, & bring the to rest. Eze. xxxiiii Though thou be lost, he wylseke the though thou haste gone astray, he will bring the again. though thou be wounded, he will bind the upthough thou be sick and weak, he will make the hole and strong Seek him therefore this year and as long as thou livest, for with him there is mercy, and plenteous redemption. Psal. xxix He hath salvation enough for thee, thou needest not to seek help at any other, neither is their salvation in any other. Act four Therefore biddeth he the ever come to himself.  
Math xi Ioh. vi He never bade the seek other physicians to heal the of this disease, for there is no help in the children of men. Psal. c xlv As for corporaldiseaces, god hath ordained outward medicines for them in his creatures by the ministration of true physicians. which gift of god no wiseman will abhor. Eccle: xxxviii. But against the sickness of sin there is no help nor succour: but only in himself. And as there is no salvation without him, so is there ever grace. mercy, pardon, & clean remission freely in him, Esa. lu for all such as will receive it, and be thankful for the same.   

¶ The fourth Chapter concerning the strife & trouble of this year, and the cause thereof?  
THe sword that I spoke of partly in the first Chapter, is like to be drawn this year, for why, The Son, Mars, and Mercurtus can not agree together. How accordeth the world with Christ & the gospel. They shall never be at one Sore eyes may not abide the clear light of the son, the light will not consent to the works of darkness, neither will the believers have part with infidels ii Cor vi,  
Thus can there be no agreement, for they be of contrary natures. Again, a scornful body) as Solomon sayeth) loveth not one that rebuketh him. Pro xu The children of this world are scornful and therefore are they not content to be reformed by the gospel, 
The gospel shall have victory.  which nevertheless though it have many enemies (as it hath ever had) yet because it is the truth, it shall bear away the victory iii Esd. iii And that shortly. For god hath put into the hearts of divers princes to fulfil his will, and to hate the whore of Babylon, to make her desolate & naked, to put down her abusions. Apo. xvii & utterly to set her out of her stole. So that it appeareth evidently, that sathan shall no more have so great dominion, as he hath had in times passed. And now that he saith that his kingdom will have a fall, he worketh (and shall do) all the he can by the children of unbelief (specially by the shaven Madianites) to stir up wars, seditions. secret treason, and utter defiance both among Princes and commonalties. For such adversaries of the truth had rather set all nations by the ears, and wickedly to resist the ordinance of god in the authority of their Prince, then to submit themselves to the gospel.  
And where as God hath raised up good men to preach his word, the devil is so wood at it, that he hath sent them a letter of defiance by some of his membres, even with such an answer as was given to jeremy the prophet. For they say plainly. As for the gospel, we will not hear it, but what so ever goeth out of our own mouth, that will we do, we will set up candles and offer to stocks and stones, we will do as our fathers have done before us. For when we so did then had we plenteousness of victuals, than were we in prosperity, and no misfortune came upon us. Jere xliiii But sense we left of such God's service, we have had scarceness of all things, and the world was never well sense etc.  
Soch strife (I say) & debate shall happen this year because of the word of god, for the enemies thereof had rather draw their daggers at it, then to be reformed. But the lovers of it shall spare no labour to convert them, and to maintain peace, and therefore I trust verily that thorough the gracious influence of the son this strife and division shall turn to no blood shedding, for god shall send princes to defend his people from the malice of the wicked yet shall the enemies of God's word not cease from persecuting but do all the mischief they can, that by one way or other the gospel of the glory of God may be stopped. Therefore thou lover of God and his word, wha any such heat of trouble happeneth unto thee (for by trouble must thoube tried) Marvel not at it as though it were a strange thing but rejoice, in asmuch as thou art partaker of Christ's afflictions: that when his glory appeareth, thou mayst be merry and glad. And be even as content to be reviled as he was i Peter ii For there is no disciple above his maltster, neither servant better than his lord. mat x. if they have called the good man of the house Belzebub, how much more shall they call than of his household so? These and many other sweet words saith he himself unto thee, that in him thou mayest have peace & a quiet conscience. In the world thou shalt have trouble: but be of good comfort, he hath overcome the world. Ioh. xvi   

¶ The fifth chapter concerning the estate of kings, and princes, and superioure powers?  
THe influence of the Son and Mars declareth evidently by all conjectures (ye certainly without any doubt) that kings and princes shall have a prosperous year: & me think I dare be bold to say the same, in as much as I see that they begin now some of them to seek the true honour of God, and to deliver their people from oppression. make me doubt the less herein. Solomon (which was a king himself, and that of great experience) sayeth these words: Pro xxv  
Take away ungodliness from the king, and his seat shallbe established with righteousness. seeing now that god beginneth so graciously to work in Princes, who hath not occasion to hope for great increase of prosperity in them. For like as when a prince delighteth in lies (as sayeth the wise man. Pro xxix) all his servants are ungodly, even so when the king or prince is a favour and maintainer of the teneth, his people shall the more be given to the fear of God. And I doubt not, but god this same year (by the faithful ministration of his authority in kings & princes) shall bring noble acts to pass, to the great deliverance of poor people, and reformation of the ignorant.  
thinkest thou not that God intendeth great good unto us, in that he so graciously endueth that hearts of diverse prices, doubt not therein. Let them remember therefore that the power which they have, is given them of the Lord, and the strength from the highest.  
Sap. vi jest they being officers of God's empire, be negligent in keeping the law of righteousness But if they delight in moche people, let them love the light of wisdom which is god's word. for by it they shall set the people in order, and the nations of their enemies shallbe subdued unto them. Sap. viii who so ever he be then that loveth not to resist the ordinance of god, let him submit himself to the authority of his prince, and let him not bite his lip at it, though good Ezechias, break the brazen serpent, that the children of Israel have worshipped so long four Re. xviii, let it not grieve him (I say) that the virtuous king josias expelleth soothsayeers, charmers, expounders of tokens, Idols, and other abominations out of his land, to set up the words of the law of God four Reg. xxxiii Let every man rather give thanks unto God, and be glad, that Bell is delivered into daniel's power, that the falsehood of Bells priests is come to light, and that the dragon is devoured, whom the people was wont to worship. Dam xiiii Let no man therefore resist this power of God that doth such acts by the ministration of princes, but let every wise man be content to be reformed of his error, to do well, and remember that the king beareth not that sword for nought. Ro xiii and the (as the wiseman sayeth.) The kings displeasure is a messenger of death. Pro xvi: Be thou therefore thankful unto god and obedient unto thy prince, & doutte not but thou shallte have a right prosperous year, and I can not see how it is possible to be otherwise, for as long as the king maketh so many daniel's of his council it must needs be to the great wealth and prospirite of the people.   

¶ The sixth Chapter concerning the darkness of this year?  
When I consider the corrupt nature of Mercurius, & how he hath been, is, & ever shallbe contrary unto Mars & the Son, I find by all experience, that he shall cast a greate mist between us and the Son, so that it shall be dark: for though the light shine in darkness, and be come into the world john i yet shall they (whose works are evil and after the conditions of Mercurius) love that darkness more than the light. And thus shall this darkness be in them that live naughtelye & follow their own abominations, for because they do evil, therefore shall they hate the light, and not come to it, lest their deeds be reproved. Ioh. iii And (as Paul saith) if the gospel shallbe yet hid, it shallbe hid in them that are lost, among whom the God of this world shall blind the minds of them that believe not, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ (which is the image of god) should shine unto them ii Corint iii But where the children of God are, there shall be light. Exod. ten and the works of life. saying therefore that the light is yet a little while with the walk while thou haste it, that the darkness fall not upon the. Ioh. xii for he that walketh in darkness woteth not whether he goeth,  
But believe thou steadfastly on the light, while thou hast it, that thou mayest be the child of light, and escape the horrible darkness of the wicked. sapi xvii   

¶ The seventh Chapter, concerning the estate of the spiritualty  
IF our spiritualty sat not out of Moses' seat, Mathewe, xxiii. and taught not their own laws and constitutions. if they taught us the truth, although they were but sayers and not doers themselves Mat, xxiii. if they transgressed not the commandment of god because of their own traditions, math. xu if they laid not to heavy burdens upon men's shoulders, mat xxiii if they loved not the highest seats, and shoot not up the kingdom of heaven before men, if they devoured not widows houses under the colour of long prayers, and were not full of robbery and uncleanness, hypocrisy & wickedness within, if these corruptions I say) where not in them. ye if all the abominations of the world beside were not in a manner as a shadow in comparison to theirs it were not to be mistrusted, but that they should have a right prosperous year, but saying they speak evil of the way of truth, & thorough covetousness with feigned words make merchandise of us two. Pet ii saying they follow the way of Balaam, and walk still in their errors. saying they speak false thorough ypocrisi, forbidding all priests to mary, and commanding to abstain from the meats which god created to be received with thanks giving i Tim four saying they have not fed the flock of Christ, but themselves, & are churls to the people. Ezech xxxiiii. seeing the most part of them entre not in at the door into the sheepfold, but come in some other way to steel, to kill, and destroy, Io. ten  they tell but lies to maintain their preachings withal, and blaspheme the name of God unto the people for an handful of barley or a piece of bread, Ezechi xiii Seeing (I say) that their wall is builded but with untempered mortar, it must needs fall, for the Lord himself will upon them & require his sheep out of their hands. 
〈◊〉 broken I● will one.  Eze. xxxiiii ye the sheep themselves shall follow them no more. but fly from, them seeing they are but strangers, and hired servants. For in so much as Christ goeth now before his sheep, they will follow him, and hearken no more to the voice of strangers. john ten This is now the year of adversity that the spirituality is like to have for in so much as they have not God's word on their side, they shall be fain to stop their mouths. Mich iii And all plants the the father in heaven hath not planted, shallbe plucked up by the roots. Math xu  
For all this when I consider the gracious influence of the sonne-I find by the instruction of Mars, that though all the constellations be against the spiritualty if they will obey the ordinance of God, and submit themselves to his word, there shall none perish but the children of perdition. Ioh. xvii As for all such as strive against the stream, & will needs of malice resist the power and persecute the people of God, let them beware that they be not drowned with their Pharaoh. For God hath herd the complaint of his poor oppressed, & sent them a Moses to be their guide, to bring them out of Egypte, and not only to defend them, but all other also as many as will convert unto his word, and be reformed by his authority and power in his anointed kings. Seeing then that god hath called so many of the spirytualtye all ready, and doth daily call me to the knowledge of his word, I can not despair but that he will also be gracious to many more of them, for though the r bellyons are like to have an evil year, I doubt not but there be many among them, which shortly when the higher powers shall require them, will be reformed to the great worship of the word of God. To whom for the conversation of some all ready be thanks, honour and glory now and ever more. AMEN ❧    

¶ Here endeth this true & faithful Pronosticacon upon the year. M. CCCCC.xlix. gathered out of the scriptures of God
