Whosoever will follow me let him forsake him self and take up his cross and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it. But whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospels the same shall save it. For what shall it profit a man, if he win all the world and & lose his own soul, or what shall a man give to redden his soul withal again: whosoever ⟨image 114⟩fore shall be ashamed of me and my words in this whorish and sinful generation, of him also shall the son of man be ashamed when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
