And this is matter of comfort, that we are to deal with one, that is mastered, & conquered already, ⟨p. 142⟩with one that is a coward, and therefore if we resist him, he will fly, but if we give place to him, then1 he will use us, and torment us as a Tyrant. And therefore we are to take courage over him, being thus overcome by our Saviour CHRIST. For as the victory, which David had over Goliath, was for all the2 people of God, so is the victory of our Saviour not for himself, but for us.
And this is matter of comfort, that wee are to deale with one, that is maistred, & conquered already, ⟨p. 142⟩with one that is a coward, and therefore if we resist him, he will fly, but if wee giue place to him, then1 he will vse vs, and torment vs as a Tyrant. And therefore wee are to take courage ouer him, being thus ouercome by our Sauiour CHRIST. For as the victory, which Dauid had ouer Goliah, was for all the2 people of God, so is the victory of our Sauiour not for himselfe, but for vs.
