And thus hath the Prophet by these words declared the office of Christ, namely, that he is our King, 1our Bishop or Priest, and our righteousness, and also our redeemer & deliverer from sin, death, devil, and ⟨image 33⟩hell, and that he delivereth us out of all tribulations, and that he is our life and health and salvation.

It followeth further nowe in Ieremye, And therfore beholde, the tyme cometh (sayth the Lorde) that it shall be no more sayde, the Lorde lyueth, whiche brought the children of Israell oute of the lande of Egypte.
