He Has Seen the Persecutors Fall and Rejoices in the Christians’ Peace

“And surely it is a happy thing that the punishment of such men as I have described has been made plain for all to see in our own times. For I myself have seen the end of those who lately harassed the worshipers of God with their wicked edict. For this, abundant thanks are due to God, that through his excellent providence all who keep his holy laws are gladdened by the peace given back to them. So I am fully convinced that everything stands in the best and safest position, since God is pleased, through their pure and faithful worship and their agreement about his divine nature, to gather all people to himself.
