Out of these two verses we may note divers doctrines for our consolation in the days of our trouble.1 And the first (after my mind) shall be concerning the two brightness and the two darkness in the word of God. The one brightness is in the letter outwardly, and the other brightness is in the spirit and heart of the reader of the Scripture. This brightness or clarity of the letter is this, when by reading, hearing, or thinking of Gods word: men learn and know that God made all things, and ⟨image 98⟩that he preserveth all things, and that Jesus Christ his only son is the mediator between God and man, and that he pacified Gods just ire against man by his bitter death and passion. Also he knoweth by the external histories of the Scripture, that GOD hath delivered many times his people from dangers and perils, in manner impossible to be holpen.
