CHAP. 12. Of the extraordinarie helpes.
Now follow the extraordinary helps, which are not commonly nor daily in use, but sometime,1 and that according §Bto the extraordinary occasions which the Lord offereth. And these are especially two: first, solemn thanksgiving: and secondly, fasting, with prayer more then usual adjoined.2 The first is when in some rare and unlooked for deliverance out of desperate danger, we do by the commandment of God, and examples of the godly before us, in a most fervent manner, yield praise to God for the same, and rejoice heartily in the remembrance and consideration of it, tying our selves (as it were) in a renewing of our holy covenant, more firmly to the Lord, and testify both these by signs of unfeigned good will to our brethren.
