But the wicked and unstable fall from their hope, and their fall is miserable. They have hard the word of God that teacheth unto salvation, but did not regard it, they have forgotten the works of the Lord, and received his grace in vain. For when they have heard the word, the Dive• cometh, & taketh away the word out of their hearts, least they should believe, and be saved. And the end of these men, is worse than the beginning.

It was not so with the Thessalonians. They received the word of God willingly, and it was fruitful in them, so that thereby they increased in faith, in love, and in hope. Their faith the Apostle calleth forcible or effectual: their love diligent & painful, their hope mighty through patience, whereby they overcome all manner of dangers: & rejoiceth on their behalf, because he found so great success of his travail in the Gospel amongst them.
