Thus did Sarah cast doubt of Gods promise touching the hauing of a child,* 1.1 who yet is said through faith to haue receiued strength to conceiue when she was past age,* 1.2 because she iudged him faithfull that had promised. Thus did Mo∣ses call in question the po∣wer of God, as touching pro∣uiding flesh for the people of Isra∣el,* 1.3 when God promised so to do. So Dauid and Habacuck staggered as touching the prouidence of God,* 1.4 and his
care of the iust and righteous men. So did the Disciples murmure concerning the Godhead of Christ, and the hope of redemption by him, which before they had im∣braced: surely when we look vnto our selues in our grea∣test perfections, we are sub∣iect to that amazed di∣straction, as to say,* 1.5 Who shall ascend into heauen? as if Christ were not ascended to make way for vs: and Who shall descend into the deepe? as if Christ had not died to de∣liuer vs from thence: we can neuer satisfie our selues, how either to escape the one, or to attaine the other.
