Christo. Doubt ye not of the goodness of God neighbour. Be strong and steadfast in the Lord your God, abide patiently his good pleasure, & he shall work all things for the best,1 as the Psalmograph sayeth: O tarry thou the Lords leisure, be strong, and he shall comfort thine heart, therefore put thou thy trust in the Lord.2 In silence and hope shall your ⟨p. 37⟩strength be, sayeth the Prophet. O how good is the lord unto them,3 that put their trust in him, and to the soul that seeketh after him? The good man with stillness and patience tarrieth for the saving health of the Lord. The righteous have cried, and the Lord hath graciously heard them, and delivered them out of all their troubles.
