happy are those that suffer for gods sake The prophet saith: Commenda domino viā tuā, & […]. […]. ⟨image 19⟩Commit thy way unto the lord and he shall bring it to pass, that is to say: when thou art in trouble call upon the lord, believe in him: and if it be good for thee, he will deliver thee: so to sanctify gods name is to believe in him.
