Cest homme icy prest à tumber en bas
Et se froisser, aumoins en apparence,
Monte tousjours, & rasseure son pas,
Sachant que Dieu le soustient d’asseurance.
Que tout Chrestien donc prie en confiance
Dieu, qu’il le tienne, & ne laisse point.
Car s’il nous laisse, il n’y a esperance
D’aucun salut jusqu’à un petit poinct.

A QUO TREPIDABO[1]
Whom shall I fear?
xiii.
Casuro licet assimilis, vestigia firmat,
Dextra Dei cuius fulcit amica gradum.
Tota igitur tu mente Deo te tradere totum
Disce.
Salus nulla est, deficiente Deo.
Even though he seems to be about to fall, he whose step God’s right hand, like a friend, supports walks with renewed strength. So learn to entrust your whole self with your whole mind to God. There is no salvation if God is absent.
1. Psalm 26 (27):1
