Now to make an end, for Gods sake mark these lessons well: for this is a very good piece of scripture, wherein Paul showeth both ways: I think it were better for us to live so, that we may attain to this felicity, which is prepared for us in heaven, rather than to follow our carnal desires and lusts. For when we leave our wicked life, & credit the word of god, and have a delight in it: No doubt it shall bring us in the end to this salvation, of which saint Paul speaketh here.
