And to show the certainty of this, he saith, I know, This know ledge he had by the word: because we shall then subscribe to the justice of God, when we can subscribe to the word. Then if we would subscribe to the righteousness of Gods judgements; let us by the word meditate upon his threatenings & promises; and though we cannot² see the reasons of all, yet must we acknowledge them to be holy, because the Lord is holy; and his word is holy, therefore his works are holy.

Then if we would subscribe to the righteousnes of Gods iudgements; let vs by the word meditate vpon his threatnings & promises; and though we cannot² see the reasons of all, yet must we acknowledge them to bee holy, because the Lord is holy; and his word is holy, therefore his workes are holy.
