This shepherds voice wherewith he speaketh and calleth unto his sheep,1 is the holy gospel, whereby we be taught that we obtain grace, remission of since and everlasting salvation, not by Moses law (where through he putteth us in the more fear, dread and despair, which were to fearful, to sore afraid and despaired to much afore,) but by Christ, which is the shepherd and bishop of our souls .i. Pet. it which hath sought us miserable and lost sheep, and fetched us out of the wilderness, that is to say, from the law, from sin, from death, from the power of the devil, from everlasting damnation: And in that he gave his life ⟨image 11⟩for us, obtained he us grace, remission of since, comfort, help and strength against the devil and all misfortune, ye and everlasting life also. This is now unto the sheep of Christ, a loving sweet voice, which they are heartily glad to hear, which they know right well, and order them selves thereafter. As for a strange voice that soundeth otherwise, they neither know it, nor hearken unto it, but avoid & fly away from it. &c. Joh. x.
This shepherdes voyce wherwith he speaketh and calleth vnto his shepe,1 is the holy gospell, wherby we be taught that we optayne grace, remissiō of synnes and euerlastyng saluacion, not by Moses law (wher thorow he putteth vs in ye more feare, drede and dispayre, whiche were to fearful, to sore afrayed and dispayred to muche afore,) but by Chryst, whiche is the shepherde and bysshoppe of our soules .i. Pet. it whiche hath sought vs myserable and lost shepe, and fetched vs out of the wyldernes, that is to say, from the lawe, from synne, frō death, from the power of the deuell, from euerlastynge damnacion: And in that he gaue hys lyfe ⟨image 11⟩for vs, optayned he vs grace, remission of synnes, cōforte, helpe and strength agaynst the deuell and all mysfortune, yee and euerlastynge lyfe also. This is now vnto the shepe of Chryste, a louynge swete voyce, which they are hartely glad to heare, which they knowe ryghte well, and ordre them selues therafter. As for a straunge voyce that soundeth otherwyse, they nother knowe it, nor herken vnto it, but auoyde & flye awaye from it. &c.
