But this same the Lord highly commendeth, that in so slipper & unfortunate a place they have stand uprightly hitherto, and could not be subdued in the very seat of Satan.1 Here we learn, that it is lawful, as occasion shall serve, to dwell in the midst of a froward nation: yet so that we be not made conformable to them in any wise either in manners or superstition. And for as much as it is dangerous to dwell amongst the ungodly, and as it were to touch pitch with our hands: ⟨p. 76⟩Thou shalt nothing offend against the Lord, if thou get thee to a safer place, wherein is less danger and more occasion of all godliness. Yea rather when thou mayest conveniently pass unto such places, thou stickest dangerously upon the stony rocks, whereupon thou mayest chance at the last to suffer Shipwreck.
But this same the Lord highly cōmendeth, that in so slipper & vnfortunate a place they haue stande vprightly hitherto, and coulde not be subdued in the verye seate of Sathan.1 Here we learne, that it is lawefull, as occasion shall serue, to dwell in the middes of a frowarde nation: yet so yt we be not made conformable to thē in any wise either in maners or superstitiō. And for as much as it is daūgerous to dwel amōgs the vngodly, and as it were to touche pitch with our hādes: ⟨p. 76⟩Thou shalt nothing offende against the Lord, if thou get thee to a safer place, wherin is lesse daunger and more occasion of al godlines. Yea rather when thou mayest cōueniently passe vnto suche places, thou stickest daungerously vpō the stony rockes, wherupon thou mayest chaunce at the laste to suffer Shipwreake.
