I believe that in this communion or Christen te all the prayers and good works of this congregation do necessarily help me / way on my side and comfort me in all times of life and death.

I believe that in this congregation & common wealth (and in none other place) is gorgevenesse of since. And that without this all great and good works / how many so ever there are of them do nothing profit to forgiveness of sin. And contrariwise in this congregation / the multitude / greatness / and often committing of since / do nothing hurt / nether let the forgiveness of sin / but that this forgiveness doth continue wheresoever / and how song / this excellent church doth endure. To whom also Christ giveth his keys / and sayeth in the ⟨image 36⟩xviij. of Matthew what soever ye lose upon earth / it shall be loosed in heaven: likewise he saith to Peter alone / in the name and stead of this only one church in the, xvi. of Mat. Whatsoever thou lose upon earth it shall loosed in heaven.
