Peter teacheth us how we shall sanctify gods name saying, Conuersationem […] gentes habentes bonam, Have a good & holy conversation, live uprightly in your calling, so that your light may so shine before men that they may see your good works, and so glorify god.

For now is the time wherein the name of god should be hallowed. For it is a pitiful thing to see what rule and dominion the devil beareth, how shameless men be: how the name of god is brought in derision. Therefore
