They had the same Christ, the same Saviour and redeemer that the Apostles had. For saith S. Paul, ¹Jesus Christus, heri, hodie, & semper, Christ, is for yesterday, this day, and for ever. One Christ served for all the world. Otherwise most miserable were we, & in most wretched condition were all such as either now live, or have lived sithence the time of Christ. For we never saw Christ in the flesh, we never beheld his body, we were never conversant with him on the earth. But Christ hath told us by S. Thomas, ²Beati qui non vident & credunt, blessed are they that believe and have not seen, blessed are they that see not, and yet believe. These things be for our great comfort. For although we never saw Christ with our eyes, though he was never conversant with us, as he was with his Apostles, yet have we through him the same salvation that the Apostles had, we have him our redeemer and Saviour as they had him.

One Christ serued for all the world. Otherwise most miserable were we, & in most wretched condition were all such as either now liue, or haue liued sithence the time of Christ.
