¶ The. x. Chapter.
Take one or two examples out of the new Testament / for the confirmation of our faith in this behalf / that we ⟨image 21⟩may learn God to be one / and the same loving 1father in all ages / & never more doubt of his fatherly goodness toward us / but conceive an assured hope and perfect trust off his present help / even in the deepest of our adversities / as he sayeth: Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death / I will fear no evil / for thou art with 2me.
