But the true solution indeede is this, that whosoeuer he be that knoweth, and is perswaded that hee is cha••sed of him, ought by and by to ascend vp into this imagination, Surely this comes to passe because I am loued of God. 1For whilest the faithfull doe feele God to bee betweene them and the weight of the euils which they endure in the punishments and chastisements which he inflicteth vpon them here, they haue therein a certaine pledge and seale of his loue. For if he loued them not, he would not bee thus carefull for their saluation.
