Howbeit for discipline sake, free gracious gifts are also sometimes taken away: sometimes I say, not always. And Samson did not straightway at the first time when he sinned, lose those gifts of God: yet afterward he lost them. But seeing these are not always taken away,1 what shall we affirm of other gifts, which of necessity follow justification? Those undoubtedly are taken away in sins that are most heinous, For he which hath committed any grievous sin against himself, holdeth not peace of conscience, neither the zeal to call upon God, nor hope towards God. Faith also for that time, either sleepeth and lieth still, or (as some think) is taken away, although it be afterward restored unto the elect, and those that are predestinate, when they repent. Such falls of excellent men are set forth,2 that we by them should have an example, that if at any time we fall, we should not despair. And hereby we understand how great the verity of the holy scriptures is. For they dissemble not errors and vices in the greatest men, & in those specially which they have taken in hand to praise.
