And upon these texts I conclude / that if1 Christ have so purged us that we are without spot / wrinkle or blame in his sight / (as Paul testifieth / then will he never cast us in to purgatory. For what should be purged in them / that are without spot wrinkle or blame. And then somewhat to declare the matter how we be sinners as ⟨image 17⟩long as we live / and yet without sin in the sight of god and add this words why •he I would that all men deed well note them and because Rastell leaveth out the best of the matter / I will rehearse my own words again.

John .2. therefore I will briefly declare the meaning of the apostle. This is first a clear case that there leaveth no man upon the earth without sin / notwithstanding all they that we•e chosen in christ before the foundation of the world were laid are without spot of sin in the sight of God.
