Further, when we see the minds of men to be so full of poison, that they wax mad against God, so soon as they are sharply handled, we must ask the spirit of meekness, that the same fury carry not us into this deadly battle. When Luke sayeth that Christ went through the midst of them, and so escaped their hands, he declareth that he was delivered by God not without a great miracle from the present death. By which example we are taught, although our adversaries prevail, that our life seem to be at their pleasure: yet the power of GOD shall always be the conqueror, to preserve us so long as he will keep us in this world, either he will bind their hands, or strike their eyes with blindness, or amaze their hearts and minds.

Matth. 4. | Mark. | Luke. 13. And leaving Nazareth, went and dwelt in Capernaum, which is near the sea, in the borders of Zebulun, and Nepthalim, 14. That it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by Isaiah, the Prophet saying: 15. The land of Zebulun, and the land of Nepthalim by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles: 16. The people which sate in darkness, saw ⟨p. 143⟩great light, and to them that sate in the regi•• and shadow of death, light is risen up. | |
