For he •s the father of mercies, and God ⟨p. 22⟩of all consolation, which comforteth us in all our trouble, which knoweth also how to deliver the godly out of temptation.1 All these texts borrowed out of the holy scriptures with many other, do evidently declare, that the cross is laid upon the godly at Gods appointment, and that not for their hurt and destruction, but for their health and salvation. For though our outward man perish:2 yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our trouble,3 which is short & light prepareth an exceeding and an eternal weight of glory unto us, while we look not on the things which are seen, but on the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen, are temporal, but things which are not seen are eternal.
