Furthermore, the knowledge of that miracle was so greatly to be esteemed, that he ought not to have passed for offending the people, especially seeing that he had in readiness a lawful excuse, wherewith though he did not pacify the wicked, yet did he sufficiently refute their false slanders. Therefore we must note this rule, that though the whole world do fret and fume against us, yet must we publish the glory of God, and preach his works, so far forth as it is expedient for his works to be known. Neither must we be wearied or discouraged, although this our desire fall not out so well as we would, so that we set before our eyes that end whereof I have spoken, and leap not over the bounds of our duty.
