1But in us there is a clean contrary feeling. For it seemeth unto us that this our small groaning doth not so pierce the clouds that there is nothing else heard in heaven of God and his angels. Nay, we think, and especially during the time of tentation, that the Devil horribly roareth against us, that the heavens thunder & the earth trembleth, that all will fall upon us, that all creatures threaten our destruction, that hell is open and ready to swallow us up. This feeling is in our heart, these horrible voices and this fearful show we hear and we see. And this is it that Paul saith in the .2. Corrin. 12:2 That the strength of Christ is made perfect through our weakness. For then is Christ almighty in deed, then doth he truly reign and triumph in us, when we are so weak that we can scarcely groan.3 But Paul saith, that this groaning is in the ears of God, a most mighty cry which filleth both heaven and earth.
1But in vs there is a cleane contrary feling. For it semeth vnto vs yt this our small groning doth not so perce the cloudes that there is nothing else heard in heauen of God and his angels. Nay, we thinke, and especially during the time of tentation, that the Deuil horribly roreth against vs, that the heauens thunder & the earth trēbleth, that all will fall vpon vs, that all creatures threaten our destruction, that hel is opē and ready to swallow vs vp. This feling is in our heart, these horrible voices and this fearfull shew we heare and we see. And this is it yt Paul sayth in the .2. Corrin. 12:2 That the strength of Christ is made perfect through our vveaknes. For then is Christ almighty in dede, then doth he truly raigne and triumph in vs, when we are so weake that we can scarsely grone.3 But Paule sayth, yt this groning is in the eares of God, a most mightie cry which filleth both heauen and earth.
