Therefore when the Epistles, the Psalms, the Chapters, and the Gospel are read in our hearing, let us remember whose word we hear. Let us think thus with our selves. These are the words of our gracious GOD. My God openeth his mouth from heaven above. He speaketh to me, that I may be saved: he speaketh to me, to keep me from error: to comfort me in the adversities and troubles of this life: and to lead me to the life to come.
Therfore when the Epistles, the Psalms, the Chapters, and the Gospell are read in our hearing, let vs remember whose worde wée heare. Let vs thinke thus with our selues. These are the words of our gracious GOD. My God openeth his mouth from heauen aboue. Hée speaketh to me, that I maie be saued: he speaketh to me, to kéepe mée from errour: to comforte mée in the aduersities and troubles of this life: and to leade me to the life to come.
What is the cause why so many so little regard the word of GOD? Why they doubt it, and suspect it? Why they are so soon weary of it, and bear it not that reverence, that belongeth to it? Because they think not, neither from whom it cometh, nor with whose blood it is sealed, nor to Inhose benefit it is written. Let us not be ashamed to give place to the word of GOD, to awake our senses, and to submit them, and our wisdom and learning, and bodies, and souls unto it. Let us not harden our hearts, Let us humble our selves before God, and say, Behold, 1here am I, let him do to me as seemeth good in his eyes.

Bicause they thinke not, neither from whome it commeth, nor with whose bloud it is sealed, nor to Inhose benefite it is written. Let vs not be ashamed to giue place to the worde of GOD, to awake our senses, and to submit them, and our wisedome and learning, and bodies, and soules vnto it. Let vs not harden our hearts, Let vs humble our selues before God, and saie, Beholde,
