I and my father, am one.1 Again, I am the resurrection and life. He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. And every one that liveth and believeth in me, shall never die.2 I am the way, the truth and the life. Follow Christ, & you can not err, nor go out of the way, for he is the way. Believe Christ, and you can not be deceived, for he is the truth. Abide and remain ⟨p. 534⟩in Christ, and you can not die the death everlasting, for he is the life. Wherefore (O most dear brother) clean with strong faith to these most sweet and comfortable promises of Christ your Saviour. Believe to obtain, whatsoever is promised. So may you be sure to be Gods son, and heir of his everlasting kingdom, never to perish, but to have eternal life.
