Seeing Christ is King of all Kings,1 we must not be discouraged when we be called to suffer any affliction or cross, seeing that though the tyrants and Kings of the earth rage and bend their force to hurt us, yet we have a King above them all, who can stay and bridle them, and if he please, confound and bruise them in pieces: they cannot do any thing but that which he permits them to do, for he rules and reigns in the midst of all these, where they are the thickest, and would do most malice, and can do to them as pleaseth him.
