THe Apostle saith, that Godli∣nes is great gaine, and the Psalmist, that there is fruit for the righteous, but what we gaine by godlines, and what fruit growes on the tree of righteousnes, is not well knowne in this life: here, of all men they who are godly seeme to most miserable, because they must suffer many persecutions: but as the sweet grapes of the vine
tree are gathered in the vintage; and the fruit of the husbandmans labour, comes home in the har∣uest: so doth the gaine of godli∣nesse, in the houre of death: when all other comforts forsakes vs, then godlinesse lets vs taste of her fruits, peace and ioy in the holy Ghost.
