we se some at their very later ende / when colde feare of deeth
hath quenched the heet
of their appetites / lerne and consent vnto the
trueth / where vnto before they coude geue none eare / for the
wylde rages of lustes that blinded their wittes.

And though gods electe can not so faull that they
rise not agayne /
because that the mercy of god euer wayteth vppon them
/ to deliuer them from euell / as the care of a kind father
wayteth vppon his
sonne / to warne him and to kepe him from occasions
and to call hym bake agayne yf he begonne to ferre: yet they
forgett them selues oftymes and synke downe in to traunces and
fall aslepe in lustes for a season. But assone as they be
awaked they repent and come agayne wyth out resistaunce. God
now and then withdraweth his hande and leueth them vnto their
awne strength / to make them feale that there is no power to do
good but of god only lest they shulde be proude of that which
is none of theirs. God layd so sore
awaight of persecucion vppon Dauids backe that passed
his strength
to beare. So that he cried oft out in his psalmes /
sayenge that he had liued well and folowed the right waye off
God in vaine. For the
moare he kepte him selfe from sinne / the worse yt
went with hym / as he thought / and the better with his enemie
Saull the worse he
was. Yet god left hym not there / but comforted him
and shewed
him thynges which before he wist not of / how that
the saintes must be pacyent and a byde gods heruest / vntyll the
wekedenesse of
vngodly synners befull ripe / that god maye repe it
in dew season.

miracles done at the
holy crosse. When Helena, mother of Constantine, discovered
three crosses under the temple of Venus built by Hadrian in Jerusalem, the cross of
Christ was identified by miracles. Socrates Scholasticus (c380—c450)
(NCE 13.408–9) relates that the Bishop of Jerusalem cured a dying woman with a piece of the true
cross. Cf. his Ecclesiastical History [on AD
305–439], 1.17 (PG 67.117–22; 2NPNF 2.21–22). Sozomen (c400–c450) (NCE 13.489) repeats this story and
briefly alludes to the raising of a dead youth. Cf. his parallel Ecclesiastical History [on AD 323–425], 2.1 (PG
67.929–34; 2NPNF 2.258–59). The Golden Legend
gives both incidents but greatly enlarges the latter with details
taken from Luke 7.11 on the son of the widow
of Nain (GL 1.280–82).
