And wham soever we repent & cease to sin, the Lord straightways removeth and taketh away the cross that he hath laid upon our backs, and poureth his blessing again plenteously upon us. For though he maketh a wound,1 he giveth a plaster, ⟨p. 73⟩though he smite, he maketh whole again.2 The Lord killeth & maketh a live, bringeth down to the grave, and fetcheth up again. The lord maketh poor, & maketh •ich, bringeth low and lifteth up again.3 After a storm (O lord) saith holy Toby, thou makest the weather fair & calm: after weeping and heaviness, thou givest great •oy. Thy name (O God of Israel) •e praised for ever.
