First then if we can steadfastly believe that God for Christ his sake hath freely forgiven us all our sins, and given his Son, that in him we might be blessed, we cannot but be assured, that with him 1he will give us all things. For seeing sin, which is the cause of all misery, is taken from us, we may be sure that no cross shall ever hurt us.

For seeing sin, which is the cause of all miserie, is taken from vs, wee may bee sure that no crosse shall euer hurt vs.

Again, if we could believe that as God doth ⟨p. 181⟩lay our sins upon Christ, so he doth impute his righteousness to us, how should we doubt of food or raiment, &c? For by this means he is made our merciful and loving father, who is for power, able, and for will, ready to help us in all extremities. And thus doth he abide for ever, and is never changed.
