So then, let us rightly apply this doctrine for our instruction, that when it is said, that the word of GOD is permanent in Heaven, that his trueth showeth it self from age to age, & so continueth, that it is namely spoken, to the end that we should be patient in the middest of all ⟨p. 99⟩the troubles, griefs, and anguishes, which we may have, being shaken amidst so many dangers: and also, seeing the endless and incessant changes which are here beneath, and nothing else but all unquietness.

And having this confidence with themselves, they will make no reckoning of all whatsoever shall come unto them: as we see Saint Paul commandeth us too exalt our selves against all things present and too come, so that we be fully resolved, that God loveth us. When this shall be in us,
