Christ him self saith, 1If any man shall hear my Words, and shall not Believe, I condemn him not. He that refuseth me, and receiveth not my Words, hath one, that condemneth him. The Word, that I have spoken, is it, that shall Judge him at the last day. Like wise saith S. Paul, 2We are the good savour of Christ in them, that be saved, and in them, that perish. Unto them that perish, we are the savour of Death unto Death: In them that be saved,3 we be the savour of Life unto Life. And again, If the Gospel be hidden, it is hidden from them, that perish. So saith God unto the Prophet Ezekiel, If thou give warning to the wicked,4 and he will not be turned from his wickedness, he shall perish in the same. Yet haste thou discharged thine own soul.
Christe him selfe saithe, 1If any man shal heare my Woordes, and shal not Bèleèue, I condemne him not. He that refusethe me, and receiueth not my Woordes, hath one, that condemneth him. The Woorde, that I haue spoken, is it, that shal Iudge him at the last daie. Like wise saithe S. Paule, 2VVe are the good sauour of Christe in them, that be saued, and in them, that perishe. Vnto them that perishe, wee are the sauoure of Death vnto Deathe: In them that be saued,3 wee be the sauour of Life vnto Life. And againe, If the Gospel be hidden, it is hidden from them, that perishe. So saith God vnto the Prophete Ezechiel, If thou geue warninge to the wicked,4 and he wil not be turned from his wickednesse, he shal perishe in the same. Yet haste thou discharged thine owne soule.
