T. What shall we then do, if this hope be taken from us? D. Though we have no occasion at all to conceive any good hope of the Council of Trent, yet will I not therefore say that all hope is taken from us forever: but I will only say that we living in this hope should be occasioned to stay without any further inquiring of the will of God, & without the assuring of our consciences in his word. And when such matter hath been in question, I have always been thus resolved in my self: Either there shall be a Council holden, or else there shall be none holden. Ff ther non holdē I am then deceived in my waiting for it: if there shall be one holden, I know not whether I shall live unto that time or no, or at the least to see the end, & conclusion thereof. And in the mean time if I dye, not being well resolved in my conscience of religion: I shall dye in great disquietness of conscience, and in great peril of my salvation, as thou mayest well understand by those matters, which have already ben debated sufficiently, and at large, between us. Wherefore I had rather in the mean time, to assure my self, following the admonition of our Lord Jesus Christ, which saith: Be upon your guard, watch and pray, and ¹do like that good servant that is always ready, & looketh for his master, not knowing what hour he shall come. We ⟨p. 84⟩are well assured that he shall come, but we neither know the day, ne yet the hour. Wherefore let us live alway in such estate, as becometh Christians to be, when he shall come, and then shall we never be suddenly taken.
