SO often as, inwardly in spirit,1 I behold the transitory, and frail estate of our mortal Nature, throughly vexed with infinite miseries, perils, injuries, and lamentations, so that nothing we have of sure account, nothing free, but all subject too the servitude, tyranny, & slavery of most raging enemies: it seemeth too me almost unspeakable, how deep indebted we are too CHRIST JESUS, our Saviour, and Triumpher most victorious. Unto whom when of bounden duty, we have given all that is ours, and our selves wholly, and more then wholly: yet in no respect are we answerable to his wonderful deserts: so far do those things, which this our heavenly Champion hath compassed, and performed for our cause, surpass, not only our strength, and Nature, but also all conceit of hart, and thought: the great riches whereof well-near exceed all credit, and belief.
