Now, who be they which shall be deceived, in whom shall he prevail? Among them ⟨p. 350⟩that perish, because they received not the love of the trueth that they might be saved. They shall be deceived by him, Which perish, whose hearts are not marked with the spirit of God: whose names are not written in the book of life: in whom the God of this world hath blinded the minds, that the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ, should not shine unto them: they shall follow him, and shall be the children of damnation, and shall have their reward with him. Be he learned or unlearned: be he King or subject: albeit he be holy, albeit he be catholic: Antichrist shall come unto him in all deceitfulness of unrighteousness, because he hath not received the love of the trueth that he might be saved.
Nowe, who bee they which shal bee deceyued, in whom shal he preuaile? Among them ⟨p. 350⟩that perish, because they receiued not the loue of the trueth that they might be saued. They shal be deceiued by him, Which perish, whose hearts are not marked with the spirite of God: whose names are not written in the booke of life: in whome the God of this world hath blinded the mindes, that the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ, shoulde not shine vnto them: they shal followe him, and shal be the children of damnation, and shal haue their rewarde with him. Be he learned or vnlearned: bée he King or subiect: albeit he be holie, albeit hee be catholicke: Antichrist shal come vnto him in al deceitefulnesse of vnrighteousnesse, because hée hath not receiued the loue of the trueth that hée might bee saued.
Here mark, he doeth not say, Because they received not the trueth, but, he saith, because they received not the love of the trueth. Many in our days can speak thus, I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is 1the power of God unto salvation to every one
