Moreover the time also of tribulation is assigned […] that for ten days. The tenth number signifieth a multitude ⟨p. 69⟩For Jacob sayeth to his father in Law: Ten times haste thou changed my wages. Genesis .xxxi. and Numeri .xiiii. He saith he was tempted ten times, that is often, and many times. Job also affirmeth him self in the .xxix. chapter. To have been injured ten times. The Lord therefore saith at this present. You shall be diversly and much molested with evils. Notwithstanding forasmuch as he putteth not months, years, nor ages, but days, he prophecieth that the evils shall not be continual, but that there shall always be spaces be twixt to breathe in, verily for the shortness of persecution, first Isaiah the .26. Chapter. Secondly S. Peter in the first. Petri. 1. Do comfort the faithful. It is the part of the faithful not to prescribe God: But whether we be put to pain a long time or short, to take it patiently. Let us think rather, that in the long continuance of evils, there is some end also foreseen of the Lord: And that in the same time of breathing, we must repair the evils, and return unto battle.
