ftinent: fique in finem ufque fuftinuerint 5
mifericordiam Domini in fide expedantes y
a tentationibus, ac tribulationibus , atque
anguftiis per gratiam liberabuntur ; intufque
communicatione fandi Spiritus digni red-
dentur, 8c illic ajtcrnam effugient gehen-
nam, ajternumqtie regnum Domini hajredi-
B täte poffidebunt. Talem quippe Dominus
confticuit viam, qux ducit ad vitam, an-
guftam fcilicet 3c ardam , ficut feriptum eft y
ideo 3c pauci ingrediuncur per cam.
Ejufmodi ergo fpe nobis propofita, ta-
libufque promiffionibus ultro a veraci Deo
oblatis, quemeunque impetum atque affli-
dionem improbi hoftis fortiter toleremus y
ob Ipern nobis repofitam in coelis. Quan-
tafeumque enim xrumnas propter Dominum
perferamus , quid xquivalens hiftinemus,
five ad futuram nobis repromifiatn vitam_»
xternam refpiciamus , five ad fupernani
qux fuftinentibus contingit animabus, fpiritus

tionem ex tenebris improbitatis 3c ad debi-
torum remiflionem promultitudine noftro-
rum pcccatorum, ficut didum eft: dumju-
dicamur autem , a Domino corripimur: ut non
cum hoc mundo damnemur . Ac rurfus : Non

futurum gloriam y qu& revelabitur in nobis .
Prxbeamus ergo nos vcluti milites ftre-
nuos, pro rege noftro promte alacriter-
que mortem oppetentes . Quumenimad-
huc in fteculo verfaremur , quando adhuc
rebus implicabamur humanis, non patieba-
mur ejufmodi , neque tales fuftinebamus
xrumnas : verum nunc quando advenimus

E feemodi in nos maligni fpiritus excitantur
incurfiones, tentationes, ac tribülationes .
Vides ergo nos ifta omnia propter Dominum
perpeti: invidente nobis maligno, atque
conante pervertere , aut potius a via
vitx avertere, 8c in relaxationem atque_-j
negligentiam nos inducere, ne ferviendo
ac complacendo Deo, falvemur. Quantum
itaque in nos malignus infurgit, tantum
nos in patientia inveniamur viriles ac ftre-
nui, promti atque alacres, paratos nos ex-
hibentes ad tolerandum ufque ad mortem 3
propter fpem in Chriftum , ficque omnes ip-
fius infidix mox diflolventur . Pio defeniore

ftuin , qui tribulatis nobis atque oppreffis ,

bet , illofque confundit , nobis interim
