Brethren beloved in Christ I have chosen these words chiefly out of that Epistle of S. Peter, which are accustomed to be read unto the people this day, because, that whereas I must preach in Latin according to the custom of this place and time, the same in mine opinion seemed to belong properly to this assembly. The which, that they may be plainlier and better understand of you all, I must repeat a few words from the beginning of this whole Epistle. Wherefore we must call to mind, ⟨image 4⟩because in those first times, christian Religion was shut out every where, as pernicious to mens souls, and an infection of common wealths, and that it seemed great godliness to root out the bringers in of new Religion, least (I say) that Christian men and those that were Godly, should in that season utterly be discouraged, and caste away all hope: Saint Peter doeth so instruct them with this Epistle, that they should consider no new or unwonted thing to have happened, that Christ himself hath suffered far bitterer and unworthier things, that they should not be faint hearted, lastly that the way to glory is by afflictions and crosses.
