The Godly Man is Gods favourite. [ 891]

LUther was known to pray oft with intention of mind,* 1.1 and zealous fervency, that so long as he lived, Germany might be quiet, and had often profest that he firmly believed it would be so, that so Gods word might have a little Free∣dom and space to spread it self; Whereupon one Nich. Mark, a Citizen of Franc∣fort, was wont as oft as he heard of any rumours of War, to say; I fear it not so long as Luther lives; this was the esteem that Luther had of all good Men, they thought that God would deny him nothing:* 1.2 And certainly the Godly man is Gods favourite, God will hear him in a time of trouble, it is he that must stand in the gap to prevent, and that must stand up to take off the hand of God when it lies heavy upon a sinful Nation or People, be the Judgement near or afar off, imminent or ••••∣cumbent, it is the godly man (if any) that must be instrumentall for delivery.
