Here shineth again as great a light, and teacheth us: Howe we are redeemed through Christ the Son of God from death wherein we are fallen after our creation through the sin of Adam, and must eternally perish. ⟨image 122⟩And here is it time, like as in the first Article thou must also count thy self for one among the creatures of God and doubt nothing therein. Even so must thou count thy self also for our among them, that are redeemed and doubt nothing at all. And set by every word the first word (our) as Jesus Christ our Lord, even so like wise, our suffered Our dead, our risen, that he be all hole ours. And that thou art also under the same our, even as the word it self doth give it.
Here shyneth agayne as greate a lighte, and teacheth vs: Howe we are redemed through Christ the Sonne of God from death wherein we are fallē after our creation through the synne of Adam, and must eternally perysshe. ⟨image 122⟩And here is it tyme, lyke as in the fyrst Article thou must also counte thy self for one amonge the creatures of God and doubte nothinge therein. Euen so muste thou counte thy selfe also for oure amonge them, that are redemed and doubte nothinge at all. And set by euery worde the fyrste worde (oure) as Iesus Christe oure Lorde, euen so lyke wyse, oure suffered Oure dead, oure rysen, that he be all hole oures. And that thon arte also vnder the same oure, euen as the worde it selfe doth geue it.
