Although then the law, sin and the Devil cry out against us never so much with great and terrible roarings, which seem to fill heaven and earth, & far to exceed this groaning of our heart, yet can they not hurt us. For the more fiercely they assail us, accuse and torment us with their cryings, so much the more do we groan,1 and in groaning lay hold upon Christ, call upon him with heart and mouth, cleave unto him, and believe that he was made under the law, that he might deliver us from the Curse of the law, and destroy both sin and death.2 And thus when we have taken hold of Christ by Faith, we cry through him: Abba Father. And this our cry doth far surmount the roaring of ⟨image 188⟩the law, sin, the Devil. &c.
Although then the lawe, sinne and the Deuill crie out against vs neuer so much with great and terrible rorings, which seeme to fill heauen and earth, & farre to excede this groning of our heart, yet can they not hurt vs. For the more fiercely they assaile vs, accuse and torment vs with their cryings, so much the more doe we grone,1 and in groning lay hold vpon Christ, call vpon him with heart and mouth, cleaue vnto him, and beleue that he was made vnder the law, that he might deliuer vs from the Curse of the lawe, and destroy both sinne and death.2 And thus when we haue taken hold of Christe by Faith, we crie through him: Abba Father. And this our crie doth farre surmount the roring of ⟨image 188⟩the lawe, sinne, the Deuill. &c.
