And when he is so departed, they which are forsaken, undoubtedly fall & come to great misery: which falls yet & miseries (as he is good) he useth as remedies toward his elect, that they may learn that in the same misery which before they had forgotten, namely, that their strength was supported by God, and that it ⟨image 40⟩was his mere gift, in that before they did any thing that was good, or attained to any prosperous things: that being so admonished, they might return into the way, and with most faithful prayers to implore of him help, aid, and strength, as they which had now proved, by their own ill, that they had all these things of him when they stood. And after this sort is that interpreted, which the Apostle writeth to the Phil. With fear and trembling, work your salvation. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and also to perform, according to his good pleasure. Wherefore fear and trembling ought always to be driven into us, least when things go well land prosperous with us we wax proud, and whilst we profit in our renovation and instauration. Then must we always with fear and trembling mark that it is God which worketh in us both to will and to perform.1 Neither did the Apostle say, live rightly and holily with security: For he which is secure from himself, esteemeth things so, as though they depended of himself, which is not to be suffered, when as it is God himself which worketh in us both to will and to perform.
And when he is so departed, they whych are forsaken, vndoubtedly fal & come to great misery: which falles yet & miseries (as he is good) he vseth as remedies toward his elect, yt they may learne that in the same mysery whych before they had forgotten, namely, that their strengthe was supported by God, and that it ⟨image 40⟩was his mere gifte, in that before they dyd any thing that was good, or attayned to any prosperous things: that being so admonished, they myght retourne into the waye, and with moste faythfull prayers to emplore of hym helpe, ayde, and strength, as they whiche had nowe proued, by theyr own ill, that they had all these thinges of him when they stoode. And after thys sorte is that interpreted, whiche the Apostle writeth to the Phil. With feare and trembling, worke your saluation. For it is God whiche worketh in you both to will and also to perfourme, accordyng to hys good pleasure. Wherefore feare and tremblyng ought alwayes to be driuen into vs, least when thinges goe wel land prosperous with vs we waxe proude, and whilest we profite in our renouation and instauration. Then must we alwaies with feare and trembling marke that it is God which worketh in vs both to will and to performe.
