He destroyed the devil and all his tyranny, and openly triumphed over him, & took away from him all his captives, and hath raised and set 1them with himself amongst the heavenly Citizens above. He dyed to destroy the rule of the devil in us, and he rose again to send down his holy spirit to rule in our hearts, to endow us with perfect righteousness. Thus it is true that David song: Veritas de terra orta est, et justitia de 2coelo prospexit, The trueth of gods promise is in the earth to man declared, or from the earth is the everlasting verity Gods Son risen to life, & 3the true righteousness of the holy ghost looking out of heaven, and is in most liberal larges dealt upon all the world. Thus is glory and praise rebounded upward to God above for his mercy and trueth. And thus is peace come down from ⟨p. 389⟩heaven to men of good and faithful hearts. Thus is mercy and trueth as David writeth 4together met, thus is peace and righteousness embracing and kissing each other. If thou doubtest of so great wealth & felicity that is wrought 5for thee O man, call to thy mind that therefore haste thou received into thine own possession the everlasting verity our saviour Jesus Christ, to confirm to thy conscience the trueth of all this matter. Thou hast received him, if in true faith and repentance of heart thou haste received him: if in purpose of amendment, thou haste received him for an everlasting gage or pledge of thy salvation. Thou hast received his body which was once broken, & his blood which was shed for the remission of thy sin. Thou hast received his body, to have within thee the father, the Son, and the holy ghost, for to dwell with thee, to endow thee with grace, to strength thee against thine enemies, and to comfort thee with their presence. Thou hast received his body to endow thee with everlasting righteousness, to assure thee of everlasting bliss, and life of thy soul. […]r with Christ by true faith art thou quickened again (saith saint Paul) from death
