¶ Examples out of the new Testament.
Our Saviour Christ when he lived in this world, did all things according1 to his heavenly fathers commandments as he him self saith, as my father hath given me commandment, so do I: this did he to give us example, that in matters of religion we should attempt nothing as due service unto god, ⟨p. 61⟩but that only which we have learned out of his holy word.
