Epa. Thus have I declared before you my faith concerning God and his holy mysteries, grounded, I trust, on the true and undeceivable word of God. And I faithfully believe, that God my heavenly Father will be merciful unto me, and forgive me all my sins for Christs sake, and receive me into his heavenly kingdom, and give me everlasting life, which I now most entirely desire, wish and long for, counting my self then most happy, which through ⟨p. 284⟩death I shall take my passage toward that most glorious and heavenly kingdom.1 For I know and am fully persuaded, that if my earthy mansion of this dwelling were once destroyed, I should have a building of God, an habitation not made with hands, but everlasting in heaven.
