First out of this text it is to be noted, that God only is to be trusted unto in the days of trouble: as our Saviour Christ exhorted in heaviness and anguish of body and soul, all people to resort unto him, saying:1 Come unto me all ye that be laden and burdened, and I will refresh you. And the same is spoken of God by Isaiah the Prophet:2 Ye that be a thirst come unto the waters, and ye that have no money come & take it freely. S. John likewise3 in the midst among ⟨p. 88⟩troubled and afflicted persons, reciteth the words of Christ,4 saying, If any be dry, let him come to me and drink: He that believeth on me, (as the Scripture saith,) floods of water of life, shall flow out of his belly.
