Peter, when Herod that tyrant had killed James with the sword, and caste him into prison, so that he thought he should dye by and by, yet god delivered him wonderfully: and no doubt this is not written for Peters sake, but also to our con fort: so that we shall be sure, that when we follow our vocation, being lawfully come by it, God will aid and […] us in all our troubles: whatsoever shall happen unto us, he will be present and help us. Therefore take this for a certain rule: that no man with following of his vocation, and doing his duty shall shorten his life: for it is not the following of1 our vocation that shall shorten our life.

We read in the gospel that when Christ […] unto his disciples, let us go up into Jury again: his disciples made answer unto him, saying: […] the Jews sought lately1 to stone thee, and wilt thou go thither again? Jesus answered, are there not 12. hours of the […]? if a man walketh in the day, he […] not: but if a man walketh in the night he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
