Of the repentance of God, we will speak of it another time, either to morrow, or the next day. It followeth. That we perish not. We see how a King profane, seeketh to redeem him self from destruction, even by the pacifying of God. Therefore as soon as any danger hangeth over us, and is at hand, let this come into our mind, that no escaping from the same may be found, unless the Lord receiveth us into favour, even as the king of Nineveh on the contrary part seemeth to reason after this sort: As soon as the Lord shall be propitious and pacified, all things shall fall out well. We see therefore how much this rude and new Novice or youngling profited, when as he understandeth that men can not escape out of miseries, until the Lords wrath shall be appeased towards them: And as soon as men come into favour with him, although an hundred times before, they should have perished, yet shall they be safe and sound: even because the grace and favour of God is the fountain of salvation, and of life, and of all other good things. Afterwards it followeth.
