I put no confidence in any creature whether it be in heaven or in earth. But I put my sure trust only in one god which can not be seen with mans eye / which cannot be comprehended with mans wit / which made heaven & earth / and alone ruleth all creatures, To him holy I submit my self. Nothing fearing / nor regarding the malice of the devil / & his fellows / for my god is above them all. Nether would ⟨image 32⟩I put the less confidence in god / though all men did forsake me and persecute me.

I put no cōfidence in any creature whether it be in heuen or in erthe. But I put my suer trust onely in one god whiche can not be sene with mannes eye / whiche cannot be cōprehendend with mannes witte / whiche made heuē & erth / and alone ruleth all creatures, To hym hoelly I submytte my sylfe. Nothing fearyng / nor regardyng the malice of the deuell / & his felawes / for my god is aboue theym all. Nether wolde ⟨image 32⟩I put thelesse cōfidence in god / though all men did forsake me and persecute me.
