then should he soon perceive how weak the sting and power of sin is / for even as the pains of his wounds and pangs of his death do now no more remain in his body: even so are all our since vanished away like smoke to this well agreeth the saying of Paul Rom .iiij. that Christ dyed for our since and is risen again to justify us.

then shuld he sone perceaue how weake the stinge and power of synne is / for euen as the paynes of his woundes and panges of hys deth do now no more remayne in his bodye: euen so are all oure synnes vanysshed awaye like smoke to this well agreeth the sayinge of Paule Rom .iiij. that Christ dyed for oure synnes and is rysen agayne to iustifie vs.

That is the passion / and death of Christ doth open / and declare our since unto us and so doth take them away / but through ⟨image 100⟩his rising again are we justified and made free from all our since / if we believe.

That is the passyon / and deth of Chryst doth open / and declare oure synnes vnto vs and so doth take them awaye / but thorow ⟨image 100⟩hys rysinge agayne are we iustefyed and made fre from all oure synnes / yf we beleue.

How be it if we feel our unbelief that we can not be surely persuaded that these things are true / them is the next remedy to fall unto prayer for this also is in the hand of god nether is it given to every man but some have it more & some less for god distributeth all at his pleasure. Not withstanding there are certain means and small paths by the which a man may have as it were an entrance in to this faith / first turn thine eyes and behold the hearty love & bounteous kindness of christ which so tenderly loved the that he would take on him self all thy since / & lovingly embrace the to heel thy wounded conscience / if thou remember and think on this amity thy heart shall somewhat be refreshed and so shall thy trust in Christ be the more increased and stablished.
