Therefore by thus speaking, and bidding them go seek help at their 1Idols hands, they having shaken off the Lord, he teacheth us (as it standeth with good reason) that they whom we have served, and committed our selves to, must pay us our wages: and to them the Lord justly doth, and will send us to their patronage in our greatest need, even to our conviction and horror, yea destruction, if he take us not, as he did these here, to his mercy. Contrariwise, but yet according to the same equity our Saviour answered Peter, when he said, that he and his fellows had forsaken all, and followed 2him, and therefore asked him, what they should have, he said an hundred fold here, and after eternal life.
