¶ We need make none other reckoning but that his grace was delivered & plucked out (by the mighty and strong hand of God) forth from between the jaws and sharp teeth of the Lyon, at the hour when his cruel enemies were taken and destroyed, being as great a miracle wrought by God in his grace, as was the deliverance of the children of Israel in the read Sea from the tyranny of Pharaoh. The lord requireth again for his manifold kindness, no gold nor silver nor any other kind of worldly treasure but a thankful heart, a knowledge of his godly will: open confessing of his benefits before all the world.
