The second help which we must use to refrain our murmuring, is the lively faith of1 our redemption wrought by Christ, which consisteth in the free forgiveness of our sins, and the imputation of Christs righteousness unto us, & in the sanctification which is by his holy spirit. First then, if we can steadfastly believe, that God for Christs sake hath freely forgiven us all our sins, yea that he hath given us his only beloved son, that we might be beloved in him, we shall without any great ado believe that the Lord will not suffer us to want any thing, but with him will give us all things: for seeing sin, which is the cause of all misery, is taken away from us, that so we might be with Christ inheritors of the heavens, we may be sure that in the mean time no misery shall hurt us.
