Therefore hath Paul said well, The whole Scripture is profitable: It is full of great comfort: It maketh the man of God absolute, and perfect unto all good works. Perfect in faith, perfect in hope, perfect in the love of God, & of his neighbour: perfect in his life, and perfect in his death. So great, so large and ample, and heavenly, is the profit which we do reap by the word of God.
Therefore hath Paule said well, The whole Scripture is profitable: It is full of great comforte: It maketh the man of God absolute, and perfect vnto al good workes. Perfect in faith, perfect in hope, perfect in the loue of God, & of his neighbour: perfect in his life, and perfect in his death. So great, so large and ample, and heauenly, is the profite whyche we doe reape by the worde of God.
Now it followeth we consider how necessary, 1and needful it is for us to be guided by the word of God, in the whole trade of our life. The word of God is that unto our souls, which our soul is unto our body. As the body dyeth when the soul departeth, so the soul of man dyeth,2 when it hath not the knowledge of GOD. Man liveth not by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Behold saith God,3 I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst of water, but of hearing ⟨p. 180⟩the word of the Lord. Their tongue shall wither, their heart shall starve, they shall dye for hunger: They shall wander from sea to sea, and from the North unto the East, shall they run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. 4They shall stumble at noon days, as at the twilight: they shall grope for the wall like the blind: and truth shall fall in their streets. For, how shall they be saved unless they call on the name of the Lord?
