This is the second fruit of gods word It is unto the faithful not only pasture and grass, whereby they are filled & strengthened in faith. But it is also unto them a goodly cold fresh water, where by they take refreshing and comfort. Therefore leaveth he not there where he said: He fedeth me in a green pasture, but addeth this also unto it: And leadeth me to the fresh water. As if he would say: In the great heat when the Sun doth sore burn. Psal. c. xx. and I can have no shadow, then leadeth he me to the fresh water, giveth me drink, and refresheth me, that is: in all manner of troubles, anguishes, and necessities, ghostly and bodily, when I know not else where to find help or comfort, I hold me unto the word of grace. There only and no where else do I find the right consolation & refreshing, & that plenteously.

I will never forget thy word, for in my trouble it is my consolation, yet thy word quickeneth me.

Psal. c. xx. and I can haue no shadowe, then leadeth he me to the freshe water, geueth me drynke, and refressheth me, that is: in all maner of troubles, anguishes, and necessities, goostly and bodely, whan I knowe not els where to fynde helpe or comforte, I holde me vnto the worde of grace. There onely and no where els do I fynde the ryght cōsolacion & refreshynge, & that plenteously. Now wheras he speaketh here of this comforte wt garnysshed wordes, he talketh of it in another ⟨image 20⟩
