The paschal lamb after their deliverance it was yearly eaten / brought as much mirth & Joy unto them that did eat it in faith / as it dead to their •athers which felt pharaoh his fury / & were not yet delivered. For they knew right well that except god of his mercy and wonderful power had so delivered them they should also them selves have bin bond in the land of Egypt and under that wicked prince Pharaoh / of which bondage they greatly rejoiced to be rid all ready / & thanked God h•elye because they found them selves in that plenteous Land which god provided for them. The sacrament which after our deliverance is yearly & daily eaten / bringeth as much mirth & Joy unto us that eat it in faith / as it did to the apostles which were not yet delivered. For we know right well that except god of his mercy and thorough the blood of his son / had so delivered us / we should also our selves have bin bound in the egypt of sin under that wicked prince the devil / of with bondage we greatly rejoice to be rid all ready / and thank God hilly because we find our selves in the state of grace & have received thorough faith the first •ructes & a taste of the spirit which testifieth unto us that we are y• children of God.
