CHAP. 15. Of Consolation.
From Christian hope or confidence, ariseth consolation, which is, a confirmation of the soul, against the grief and fear that doth oppress it, for it is not properly a rejoicing of the soul (as some think) but rather a repression, or a mitigation, o• an allaying of grief, fear, or sadness. For that man is said to receive comfort and consolation, when he hath in some sort put away grief, although joy be not yet come in the place, or if his sadness, and sorrow, be at least in some sort mitigated, and lessened. For sometimes there may be a mixture of sorrow and consolation together. Neither are men either perfectly well or perfectly ill, when they begin to receive consolation, Esa. 40. 1, 2. Now concerning this consolation
