Therefore Luther's speech is very good, All things come from God to his 1Church, especially in contraries: as he is righteousness, but it is in sin felt: he is comfort, but it is in misery, he is life, but it is in death, we must die before we live; indeed he is all, but it is in nothing, in the soul that feels it self to be nothing, there is the foundation for God to work on. Therefore the God of comfort can create comfort, if none be, he can make comfort, if the contrary be, he can raise contraries out of contraries, he is the God of all comfort. Every word hath Emphasis and strength in it.2 The God of all Comfort.
