Moreover, let us well note that David speaking of the ⟨p. 78⟩need which he had of God, showeth us by his example, that the more we are vexed with temptations, that so much the more bold we ought too be, too beseech him of his aid, that he will reach out his hand too uphold us, and not to suffer us to be overcome. And this is specially too be noted: for when we are grieved with any temptation, we know not that the same is to make us run too God, who is the only remedy by which we must be delivered.
Moreouer, let vs well note that Dauid speaking of the ⟨p. 78⟩neede which hee had of God, sheweth vs by his example, that the more wee are vexed with temptations, that so much the more bolde wee ought too be, too beseech him of his ayde, that he will reach out his hand too vpholde vs, and not to suffer vs to be ouercome. And this is specially too be noted: for when wee are greeued with any temptation, we knowe not that the same is to make vs runne too God, who is the onely remedie by which wee must be deliuered.
And so the Devil may very easily enter into us too overthrow our faith, since it is as it were put out there unto him as a pray, and besides we vouchsafe not once too receive the remedy which is offered us for our help. So then, let us keep the order which David here setteth down: to wit, that if we be assailed with great and very strong temptations, that then it is high time for us to have recourse unto God, beseeching him to save us, and too remedy our faults, which else would lead us too everlasting destruction. And thus much for this.
And so the Diuell may very easily enter into vs too ouerthrowe our faith, since it is as it were put out there vnto him as a pray, and besides we vouchsafe not once too receiue the remedy which is offered vs for our helpe. So then, let vs keepe the order which Dauid heere setteth downe: to witte, that if we be assayled with great and very strong temptations, that then it is high time for vs to haue recourse vnto God, beseeching him to saue vs, and too remedy our faultes, which else would leade vs too euerlasting destruction. And thus much for this.
