Of the fruit or consolation; which the faithful receive thereby.

Of the frute or consolation; which the faithful receaue thereby.

The first fruit is, that our faith hath a certain object or matter to respect, to wit, ⟨p. 119⟩this same certain person sent, and appointed from the Father with commandment, which now beginneth in us that same spiritual and everlasting kingdom, which is righteousness, peace and joy in the holy Ghost, in the stead of sin, everlasting heaviness and death; and shall finish it afterwards: and seeing that he holdeth under his government and iron sceptre all things created, both his and our enemies, that is, both wicked men and devils, that they hurt not either his glory, or our salvation, but rather that even against their wills, they advance both. Hence peace and joy arise in the hearts of believers, who are citizens of this kingdom. For as it must needs be that all they be made sad, that doubt under what Lord they are in this life, whether under Christ or Satan: so on the contrary it can not be, but all they must be filled with joy, who by the inward testimony of the anointing of faith, and by the outward of holy baptism are assured, that they are under Christ the King of righteousness, and are translated out of the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of Christ, Coloss. 1. and have the kingdom of the Son of GOD even begone in them, as Christ saith, the kingdom of God is in you, or amongst you. The Angel exhorteth us to this joy▪ in the very manifestation of this king. Luk. 2. verse 10.11. Be not afraid: For behold I bring you glad tidings of great joy, that shall be to all the people, to wit that this day a Saviour is borne unto you, in the city of David, which is Christ the Lord. ⟨p. 120⟩
