1In this Christianity, and whereas she is, there is remission of since, that is a kingdom of grace, and of the right Pardon, For even there is the Gospel, Baptism, the sacrament of the altar, wherein remission of since is offered, given and received, & even there is also Christ and his spirit and God.

- 1Remission of since.Remissyon of synnes.
And without this Christianity, is no salvation, nor remission of since. But everlasting death, and damnation. Although there be great appearance of holiness, and many good works, yet all is in vain. And this remission of since, is not at one time, as in Baptism to be looked fore, 1as the Nonates do teach, but as often and many times, as man hath need of the same until the hour of death.
And withoute thys Christianite, is no saluation, nor remissyon of synnes. But euerlastynge death, and damnation. Although there be great apearaunce of holynes, and many good workes, yet all is in vayne. And thys remissyon of synnes, is not at one tyme, as in Baptisme to be loked fore, 1as the Nonates do teache, but as oftē and many tymes, as man hath nede of the same vntyl the houre of death.
