Consolation for Gods people, whose ruin and destruction the thoughts of the wicked continually aim at. Though much be purposed against them, yet nothing shall be effected against them for their hurt: nothing shall take place, which in the end shall not make for them. They need not to dread that which he doth detest: whatsoever is hateful to him, may not be hurtful to them; for how should he suffer any thing, which he abhorreth most, to work their woe whom he respecteth best?

Doct. 2 But the pure] So far as any man is upright and godly, he may also justly be called pure.
Doct. 2 But the pure] So farre as any man is vpright and godly, he may also iustly be called pure.
Full perfection remaineth for the Saints to attain unto in the life to come: but purity in the measure thereof doth accompany them thitherwards in this life. This doth our Saviour confirm, when he pronounceth them blessed that are 1pure in heart. And so doth S. Paul when he saith, that to the pure all things are pure. And so doth David, when he testifieth, that with the pure the Lord will show himself to be pure.
