The governance of virtue teaching all faithful christia[n]s, how they ought daily to lead…The gouernaunce of vertue teaching all faythful christia[n]s, how they oughte daily to leade…

Here the Apostle manifestly confuteth the wicked opinion of them which teach that Christ had a celestial body or a body made of the air, and plainly affirmeth that he toke the seed of Abraham, that is to say: was made and became very true and natural man of the kindred of Abra ham according to Gods promise. So that all that ever he had, concerning his humanity, he had it of the blessed Virgin, which came of y• stock of Abraham.

☞ Again he saith in all things it became him ⟨p. 30⟩to be made like unto his brethren. Here saint Paul confesseth that Christ was made like unto us in all things, which thing by no means could be true, if he had not taken upon him our nature and substance. If he belike unto us in all things (sin alone except) so followeth it that he is of the same nature, & of the same flesh and blood that we are, or else could not he be like unto us in all things. And so should this holy apostle and all other godly writers and teachers have brought us in error. But let god be true and all heretics liars.

☞ Agayne he saith in all things it became hym ⟨p. 30⟩to be made lyke vnto hys bretherne. Here saint Paule confesseth that Christ was made like vn to vs in all thynges, which thyng by no meanes could be true, yf he had not taken vpon him our nature and substaunce. If he belyke vnto vs in all thynges (sinne alone excepte) so followeth it that he is of the same nature, & of the same fleshe and bloud that we are, or els could not he be like vnto vs in all thynges. And so should thys holy apostle and al other godly writers and teachers haue brought vs in errour. But let god be true and all heretikes lyers.
