1Neither doeth this place only testify, very many to be saved by the grace of God from corruption, & in the true faith, even than, what time in mans judgement there appear none or very few to be faithful: and even very few or none to be saved, by reason of the exceeding great corruption of every time? We have also heard and red in the .3. book of kings the .19. chapt. that Elijah complaining most grievously of the scarcity of the faithful, understood, that God had reserved yet seven thousand men, which had not bowed their knees before Baal. The lord therefore hath evermore his chosen, which in the midst of destruction and perdition by grace through Christ are saved.

We haue also hearde and red in the .3. boke of kinges the .19. chapt. that Helias complayning most greuously of the scarsetie of the faithfull, vnderstode, that God had reserued yet seuē thousand men, which had not boughed theyr knees before Baal. The lord therefore hath euermore his chosen, whiche in the middes of destruction and perdition by grace through Christ are saued.

1And the Author of this salvation and preservation is first declared to be an Angel ascending from the rising of the sun: to wit the Lord Christ that sun of righteousness, rising up in those most thick antichristian darkness, to those that seek God, and lighting them the darkness driven away. For Christ is the true light of all times, lighting all, so many as be illumined. He giveth his people also preachers, which by the word may defend Gods people, that they be not destroyed with that common destruction.
