And if there were such constancy in David, having the law only, we that have the doctrine, which is given by him, and by the Prophets after him, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and his Apostles: we then which have a great many moe convenient helps, then David had, should we be shaken and crushed, when as the devil, the wicked, and all the girnardes and firebrands of hell, shall assail our faith? There remaineth now no excuse for us, seeing he hath done thus. Let us then learn too help our selves with the means which God hath given us, and putteth ⟨p. 60⟩in to our hand, so that his word be not vain and unprofitable unto us, but that it serve us in deed as it ought. Now he addeth,
And if there were such constancie in Dauid, hauing the lawe onely, wee that haue the doctrine, which is giuen by him, and by the Prophetes after him, by our Lorde Iesus Christe, and his Apostles: wee then which haue a great many moe conuenient helpes, then Dauid had, should wee be shaken and crusshed, when as the deuill, the wicked, and all the girnardes and firebrandes of hell, shall assayle our faith? There remaineth nowe no excuse for vs, seeing hee hath done thus. Let vs then learne too helpe our selues with the meanes which God hath giuen vs, and putteth ⟨p. 60⟩in to our hande, so that his woorde bee not vayne and vnprofitable vnto vs, but that it serue vs in deede as it ought. Nowe hee addeth,
For I remembered thine everlasting judgement O Lord: and have received comfort.
For I remembred thine euerlasting iudgement O Lorde: and haue receiued comfort.
