Of the Gospell.
We will now return again to the Gospel, which giveth not always one manner of way, counsel, help, and remedy against sin, for God is abundantly rich in his grace. First thorough the word by the mouth of the preacher, wherein is preached remission of since, throughout all the world, which is the proper office of the gospel. Secondly, through baptism. Thirdly by the blessed Sacrament of the altar. Fourthly by the power and authority of the keys, and also per mutuum colloquium, et consolationem fratrum, Matthei. xviii. Ubi duo fuerunt congregati. &c.
