1Nevertheless before the trumpets come forth, for a consolation as it were by a little digression, is placed a remedy, which the faithful in all ages may use in that pestiferous corruption to keep safe their souls, & the integrity of the same. For many times in this book are brought in most strong consolations in matters of most difficulty. For all the .10. chap. shall serve also to this Argument. And the remedy that he showeth, is this: that we must flee unto Christ redeemer of of mankind, intercessor & propitiator. And that we shall be safe under his defence, that we must offer up to him our prayers continually. And verily the Lord in the Gospel, reasoning of the greatest dangers of the Devil, prepared ⟨p. 235⟩for the company of Apostles, and being at hand. Yet addeth he by and by, that which might comfort their sorrowful minds: I have prayed for thee Peter, that thy faith should not fail, &c. Behold we are saved in greatest distress, through Christs protection, that we should not faint in faith. Howbeit, as every where the Evangelical and Apostolical letters do intimate, our continual prayers, which we offer to God through Christ, must be joined to our trust in Christ. And in few words the intercession of Christ at the right hand of God, and effect and manner of the prayer of the faithful are here set forth to behold.
