36 In that he will be called our father it ought to deliver us from all distrust:1 neither may we seek help any where else, but from him, unless we reproach him with poverty, want of ability, or with cruelty, or too extreme rigorousness. When we name him father, truly we allege for us the name of Christ, for by what boldness might any man call God father, who should burst forth into so great rashness to take to himself the honour of the Son of God, unless he were adopted to be the child of grace in Christ, which being the true Son is given of him to us to be our brother: that ye which he hath proper by nature, may by the benefit of adoption be made ours, if we do with sure faith embrace so great bountifulness.
