The second part of this verse, is as it were the foundation whereon David buildeth. Let us understand then this hope which we ought to have in the word of God, as David had: for without that, it is impossible but that we must be confounded. for although it seem in the judgement of men, that there is in us some virtue and soundness too endure and suffer patiently, yet shall it not be such a true patience as GOD alloweth. And why so? For we shall never bear him that affection too obey him, without we comfort our selves that he loveth us, and that we trust to his bounty.
The seconde parte of this verse, is as it were the foundation whereon Dauid buildeth. Let vs vnderstande then this hope which wee ought to haue in the worde of God, as Dauid had: for without that, it is impossible but that wee must bee confounded. for although it seeme in the iudgement of menne, that there is in vs some vertue and soundnesse too indure and suffer patiently, yet shal it not be such a true patience as GOD alloweth. And why so? For wee shal neuer beare him that affection too obey him, without wee comforte our selues that hee loueth vs, and that we trust to his bountie.
A man, I say, shall never be disposed to obey God, and to glorify him in afflictions, except he have a taste of the bounty, and fatherly love, which he beareth us. Now how can it be that we should be fully persuaded that God loveth us, and procureth our wealth and health, when as he afflicteth us, without we be armed with his promises? For it is impossible for us to know the truth of God, except he declare the same unto us in his word. Let us learn then, as I have already said, that the patience of the faithful can not be built, but upon faith and hope in the promises of God. Lo then what we have to note in this place.

For it is impossible for vs to knowe the truth of God, except he declare the same vnto vs in his word. Let vs learne then, as I haue already said, that the pacience of the faithfull can not be built, but vpon faith and hope in the promises of God. Loe then what we haue to note in this place.
