So making a happy change with us, he took upon him our sinful person, and gave unto us his innocent and victorious person. Wherewith we being now clothed, are freed from the Curse of the law: for Christ was willingly made a Curse for us, saying: As touching mine own person, I am blessed, and need nothing. But I will put of mine own person, and will put upon me your person and your apparel: that is, your humane nature,1 and will walk in the same among you, and will suffer Death to deliver you from Death. Now, he thus bearing the sin of the whole world in our person, was taken, suffered, was crucified and put to death, & became a Curse for us. But because he was a person divine and everlasting, it was impossible that death should hold him. Wherefore he rose again the third day from death, and now liveth for ever: and there is neither sin, nor death, nor our shape found in him any more, but mere righteousness, life and everlasting blessedness.
